Carol’s interest in recycling comes from a lifetime of hiking, backpacking and travel to other countries to see the need for the conscious awareness of being responsible with all resources. The view of the world in other places has given her the opportunity to bring other ideas and perspectives to the discussion of engaging the public in this overwhelming task set before humanity. She is passionate about the need for individual engagement in these efforts.
