Why I Care About Recycling and a Circular Economy

“Earth has given us so much and if we want to keep enjoying all of the beauty, nature, and resources it has to offer then we have to change. Having a circular economy is a crucial part of protecting and preserving the planet and all of its inhabitants (including us!). I want my future kids and their kids to have a healthy and thriving environment to be a part of.”
