Over 2,000 landfills are currently open in the United States, making our country an uglier place. And although they’re often camouflaged fairly well, the negative issues that accompany landfills remain.

Underneath the makeup that’s been plastered on landfills lay toxins, greenhouse gases, and leachate – all of which present concerning threats to our planet. If we want to leave this planet for our future generations, it’s critical that we have a proactive recycling plan in place – whether that’s in the office, in your community, or in your home.

I am asking us all to step up and take responsibility for our actions. Are you a mother or a father who has children? Isn’t it true that there is NOTHING that you wouldn’t do for them? Then how on earth are we not making them have a better life than us, ensuring that they have a place to live when we are gone and their children and every generation to come.
