C/ARC GREEN COMMITMENT: RECYCLE
Monday, January 11, 2010
It has been years since I thought about these issues, since we've been doing office recycling since 1994. In fact, Erin Miller worked on the first Earth Day back in 1970 and I worked with a pioneering curbside recycling company starting back in 1975.
But it's worth mentioning recycling again, because I've recently discovered that not a few of our friends who are architects and designers aren't doing it.
We recycle any plastic food containers, boxes, cans, bottles etc that we use. We produce next to no trash and it would probably be “no” trash if we could have a compost bin at our office to handle scraps from employee lunches.
By the way, styrofoam is the GREAT SATAN for any one who lives at the beach. That crap lasts as long as the pyramids and is all over the sand. There was a wind storm a few days ago, and there are so many small bits and balls of styrofoam that our portion of Ocean Front Walk looks like it snowed.
