Also the public needs to be educated in what is recyclable and what isn’t. Education, education, education!

As facilities for sorting these different types of plastic improve I think this will also positively influence recycling rates as more collection points will be setup do to becoming more profitable.

How many Styrofoam cups and other non biodegradable items are filling up our landfills and polluting our air as we speak? While this is a step in a great direction, we must also remember that we need to balance our own consumption in order to be truly sustainable. The packaging industry is a big buisiness, and even small steps towards becoming more green will have a big impact on all of us. I hope that the number will indeed grow in the future. Here are the University of Vermont Global Sustainability Institute (http://learn.uvm.edu/igs) we feel that we each have a part to create a better vision of the future, through our classes and resources.
