Our Environmental Future - Waste...d Opportunity II

After a warm greeting at the reception of the GRREC we worked with Adam and Karen to understand the processes within this gigantic plant with Adam and Karen taking time to explain the need and huge benefits attached to the recycling process. We talked, listened and learned of mistakes made by past generations and considered what the future could look like with facilities such as the GRREC. Then it was time to see how things really worked and we were fortunate to be invited into the Learning Suite and Viewing Area within the Plant where we could see first hand a vast array of materials being divided and separated before being sent to far off parts of the plant to be recycled. Cans, bottles, textiles and a whole host of other materials efficiently passed by as we spoke with Karen and Adam about where they were going, what would happen and what they would become. Old cans becoming new and even small grit and stones helping to create concrete blocks!! And when we thought we could see no more recycling miracles a Recycles Horse rode into view completing our fantastic adventure into what we agreed was The Future of Recycling.....
