"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not."
~ Dr. Seuss, from The Lorax
In 2015 we recycled and composted about 35% of our waste in Connecticut. That rate might seem impressive; however, it has remained relatively flat over the past decade. Connecticut still disposes of 2.4 million tons of trash annually, an estimated 1,370 pounds of trash per person per year. That's too much! We not only can do better, we must do better by transforming solid waste management into a materials economy that can create jobs through recycling .
