Tuesday, July 14, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm (Eastern Time) – Understanding 3Rs: Recycling 101 Online
Webinars are now allowing us to access lectures from all over the United States, and the Missouri Botanical Garden is offering a talk with Maggie McCoy on July 14 from 5:30 – 7 Eastern (6:30 – 8 Central, where they are) on Understanding 3Rs: Recycling, 101.
It’s often hard to figure out what can be recycled and what has to be thrown away, and even harder to explain it to skeptical friends and family. Are bottle caps okay? What about plastic bags? Does it even get recycled anyway? In this class, you will learn firsthand what actually can be recycled, where recyclables go, and what has to be tossed to the landfill. We’ll discuss the importance of recycling, the value of products, the process it takes for things to get sorted and recycled, and tips and tricks for you to get friends and family member to embrace recycling in their lives. Leave class feeling knowledgeable and empowered to become a community recycling ambassador. The Zoom link and handout will be sent the day before after registration has ended. $10 for members of SLBG, $12 for nonmembers. Register at www.missouribotanicalgarden.org.
