Sort, sort, sort—recycle responsibly
The greatest obstacle of recycling is contamination: mixing recyclables and trash
Why it's important
• If everyone in America recycled just one plastic bottle, those materials could make more than 54 million T-shirts
• If everyone recycled just one can, it would be equivalent to taking 6,750 passenger cars off the road
• If everyone recycled one plastic bag, the resulting materials could make 28,900 park benches
