It’s a new year, so get inspired. We can’t keep throwing things away because there’s no place that’s “away” anymore. When in doubt, don’t throw it out. Do something drastic, cut out plastic. Remember: reduce, reuse, recycle, and repeat. Never refuse to reuse. Eat, sleep, recycle! Yours, the Eastham Recycling Committee. [1-26]
