I notices this past week at the seminar I was involved in that certain catch phrases and ideas catch on like wild fire and become the words that everyone is using to define the direction we are moving toward.

It also used to be that there was nothing to do with electronics but to toss them. These days however, there a drop offs for such things as even computers and monitors – which is a very good thing. Granted, here in central Kentucky Lexington is the only place with such options, but it is growing. Even tiny Wilmore has an aggressive recycle pickup program, of course many more smaller communities have yet to even make that step, but it is coming.
Even in those communities there are a lot of things that are turned over and hence recycled many times Read more…
