COMMUNITY
In Burlington, VT participants from the Champlain Senior Center, Integrated Arts Academy, Sustainability Academy and The Janet S Munt Family Room helped create a community mural using “wishful recycling” items. These are items that often end up in recycling but are not in fact recyclable at most recycling plants - such as black plastic, almond milk cartons or flimsy plastic. Participants sorted through (clean) non-recyclable items to create individual tiles that make up the larger mural.
One of the intentions behind the mural is to inspire us to remember that if many individuals do their part to reduce waste and think carefully about what we are putting into recycling, we can have a positive impact on our local waste stream. Now we are asking all of you at home to continue this project!
