EDITOR:
I just read your article about Morgan Hill’s national recognition for its wastewater recycling achievements. Congratulations. A terrific article and an inspiring one. Thank you for bringing that to the attention of your readers. After reading it, I thought you might be interested in the attached information about an Earth Day commemorative opportunity that complements SCRWA’s water recycling accomplishments.
It speaks to providing actionable opportunities for Morgan Hill residents to consider as they make everyday decisions during the Earth Day season and after. It speaks to creative ways of using the materials we recycle. It speaks to the issue of creating awareness of the many innovative products made from productive materials that would otherwise end up destined for a premature and unproductive end buried for centuries in a landfill. It provides Morgan Hill residents and businesses with the chance to make purchase decisions that make a difference.
RecycleStore.com is a free public resource sponsored by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. It showcases more than 300 innovative green products made of recycled materials. With that in mind we thought this was potentially newsworthy for your readers during this Earth Day news season.
Some background information we also thought you might find interesting. One of the most vexing problems hampering greater recycling successes has been widespread consumer perception that products made of recycled materials are of inferior quality and high price. This has undercut demand growth for recycled content products. The failure to develop this demand has resulted in the attendant failure of many states and municipalities to more successfully achieve their objectives for diverting waste from landfills.
Although most consumers are not aware of it, a number of exemplary entrepreneurs have been very successful at designing and developing innovative high-quality recycled content products and introducing them into the marketplace. Entrepreneurs have tackled this challenge and come up with some distinguished new product lines. You can also find these at RecycleStore.com
