We can do better, together. Will you join #ridwell in the movement to keep 10 million pounds of trash out of the waste stream this year? #sustainability bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Americans Throw 76% of Their Recyclables Into the Trash

US households recycle just a fraction of the items they could, according to new research.

Interesting to see the Presidential Plastics Action Plan (#plasticfreepresident) raised in Regan's confirmation hearing - more than 500 key groups are signed on but the docket's already pretty packed... wastedive.com/news/epa-nomin… via @WasteDive

Regan confirmed as EPA administrator, after highlighting plastics, PFAS challenges

During his February confirmation hearing, former North Carolina regulator Michael Regan also pledged to take a close look at environmental justice and climate issues, among many priorities.
