How much do you know about recycling? Does it interest you? Do you recycle? This episode will explain how recycling came to be and how we've reached the global recycling crisis we currently find ourselves in. Is there any hope for the future? We'll cover what was used in the past, what is currently being used, and the options we have for future use. Don't worry, we thought recycling was boring too before we did this episode, but man were we wrong. So, so wrong. Tune in and find out what's going on and how you can make a difference.
