Recently, according to a story on www.petoskeynews.com, Emmet County in Northern Michigan has endeavored to make a special effort to recycle. They report, “Emmet County Recycling and the nonprofit Soles4Souls want to send shoes to Haiti to help residents struggling after the recent earthquakes there.”
According to the organization, they collect shoes and donate them to Soles4Souls to benefit those in need across the world. However, in this particular time of need for the people of Haiti, they report they’re trying to “pick up the pace” to lend a helping hand. We like this story because it stands as an excellent example for just how much good recycling can do. Not only does it do a good job of illustrating the far reaching impact of recycling, but it reminds us that in the many ways you can recycle – you can make a difference.
We recycle in a slightly different way but we’re always proud of the difference it makes, it helps EWS affiliates live better lives, businesses save more money, and communities become more environmentally friendly – all things we’re proud to deliver as EWS affiliates.
Additionally, the way organizations can find a way to recycle virtually anything speaks to the fact that EWS affiliates can also help businesses recycle some of the most unlikely types of business waste. From leftover materials to various hard to recycle metals – EWS affiliates can find a way to help businesses and communities stray from waste and contribute to growth. Even though we deal primarily with business waste, looking at the many ways that recycling helps people around the world helps us remember and appreciate the impact on the environment and the community that recycling has.
