THE RACE TO RECYCLE INITIATIVE
Partnership with RythConnections
Since late 2022, we have partnered with RythConnections, another group of motivated Bay Area students making life for the community better. Together, we have helped the environment through the power of creativity and music!
This video (edited by Max Polosky) shows one of the many cooperative projects between us and RythConnections. This was part of a week-long summer camp (2023) about music and the environment. During this last day, kids brainstormed environmental problems/solutions, made crafts from waste, and planted California-native wildflower flower seeds to bring home!
OUR INITIATIVE
We are two high-school students trying to make a difference in the Bay Area. We are helping out local recycling facilities by encouraging and spreading awareness in sorting, and by making sure no dangerous items are processed in the facilities. Our mission is to get the new generation to join our initiative to make a difference in the face of a looming climate crisis.
The Scale of the Issue
"The total generation of municipal solid waste ...was 292.4 million tons ...or 4.9 pounds per person per day."
"...32.1 percent recycling and composting rate [out of all municipal solid waste]"
"66 percent of discarded paper and cardboard...27 percent of glass...8 percent of plastics were recycled. Glass and metal can be recycled indefinitely; paper can be recycled five to seven times...plastic can...be recycled once or twice
Meet the Team
Together we can accomplish more!
