I have lived on both the East Coast and the West Coast USA and lots of places in between. While living in Washington DC in the late 1990s I was surprised to see how many DC residents were involved with Recycling -- including many restaurant owners. Many DC restaurants had "recycling bins" for each type of waste to go into.<br /><br />While there are many things people can do to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, here is a Web Site where people can try to Unite with others: http://recycling.meetup.com/<br /><br />The 8th largest Recycling-Related Group on this site is actually located in Washington DC. Thanks Dorian for writing about this issue!<br /> <br />Living Green DC/MD/VA<br />Washington, DC<br /><br />LIVING GREEN DC/MD/VA works to send a message to the community and influence small changes in everyday actions that can have a big impact on our world. As a group we look for ways to make small changes in the way we live, enjoying the support and friendship of other like-minded people. This meetup can only grow if lots of members become Assistant Organizers and provide fun and creative ways to socialize, learn, spread the word, volunteer, network, do fun things. Suggestions are seeing films with environmental themes, dining where organic and locally purchased produce is promoted, visiting farmers markets and socializing afterwards, volunteering for Earth Day activities, meeting in cafes to discuss books and articles, etc.. Whether it's a movie screening or eating a meal with freinds at an environmentally friendly restaurant, you are sure to make an impact, so join the group and volunteer.<br />Meetup topics:<br />Environment · Farmers Market · Alternative Energy · Recycling<br /><br />Citizens in The State of Washington are also very active about Environmental Concerns.
