Jordan Area business women finding their inner green

The Jordan Area Women in Business group recently invited Jim Rusnell from Waste Management in Utah to be their guest speaker. Jim shared some of the basics of recycling as well as some common miss-nomers on items that can't be recycled.

1) Question: What's the proper way to recycle pizza boxes

Answer: You don't, pizza boxes are not recyclable due to the oils from the pizza contaminating the cardboard

2) Question: How long does it take for styrofoam to break down in a landfill?

Answer: Styrofoam is left forever, its one of the man-made products that not even the waste of a landfill can break down.

How do you help the environment with being green? I have gone to cloth grocery sacks. I keep them in the trunk of my car to use for grocery shopping or other items I would normally use plastic grocery bags.

Thanks for reading
