Over the last 20 years I’ve been witnessing a great transformation around the world and at home; one that has made the throw away world that I grew up with almost entirely a thing of the past. When I was a kid I planted trees every earth day and did what I could to protect the environment. But I was also taking mounds of garbage to the dump every week and probably canceling out all of the good that I was doing. Thankfully a lot of this waste got diverted away from the landfill when our first recycling program began, but that still wasn’t enough.
