REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Launch a Recycling ProgramHow can you take your commitment to sustainable living beyond yourself? How can you, personally, work toward broader change?
Maricela Reyes 4/02/2019 9:48 AMOne of the first things I noticed when I first started at my current position is the amount of shipping waste we generate. Although we cannot control how our vendor ship, it has been on my mind since I started in this position to create a program to recycle as much as we can from our shipped products.-
