Abstract:
One paradox of our time is that we are simultaneously running out of natural resources and running out of space for disposing of discarded materials made from those resources. In addition, the price of those resources is constantly rising. As a result, very many people and communities are interested in saving both money and landfill space by recycling as much disposable material as possible. In North Carolina many organizations and communities have recycling programs and are working toward that goal.
