Why I Care About Recycling

“As a Canadian, I grew up with recycling being a weekly chore that I dreaded. We would put both the trash and the recycling out at the end of the driveway without a second thought. After moving to the U.S., it came as a huge surprise when my new town didn’t have curbside recycling. What once was a chore that I took for granted quickly turned into a luxury that I didn’t have access to. Recycling soon became an important matter to me. Working every day to help others gain access to recycling as an equal right translates into measurable impact for our planet and my kids’ future on it.”

Erinn can often be found spending time with her family and friends playing games, hiking, biking, enjoying good meals and wine, and simply having fun.
