Do you have any flyer that could be shared with the students and the community? I always get this question that they will all go to the landfill!! Community needs more education.

Hi all, We have written a few articles about this with our FIU Institute of Environment: https://casenews.fiu.edu/2020/11/13/the-dos-and-donts-of-recycling/

Here’s some specific recycling tips for the holidays: https://news.fiu.edu/2020/how-to-recycle-your-holiday-packaging

Nice article Candice!

Thank you - hope it is useful for everyone. Feel free to share with students!

why are there places within Miami Dade county that do not recycle?

if only two ( sometimes 4) of of the seven existing types of plastic are recyclable? what happens to the rest?

Could we have a tour of the facility and how many students could attend?

Great! Thanks

Great presentation JeanMarie! Thanks!

🙌

Awesome, thank you all!

How can you become involved in these monthly beach cleanups?

What is stopping the water department of advocating more publicly about things like, stopping use of water bottles, for example?

You pressed on “dry” bottles during your presentation. Is it better to leave the caps off in order to allow fast evaporation after rinsing off bottles? If so, is it OK to place both the cap and the bottle into the recycle bin?

Following up with Carmen's question about certain areas in Miami Dade not recycling, I have seen articles about recycling cancellations due to COVID19 but ALSO from contamination.I am also a little confused about how there can be a mandate but municipalities can still opt out. Is this just an enforcement issue?

Andres for cleanups, you can look up https://www.volunteercleanup.org/

I see, thank you. I assume you guys would get backlash from these bottled water companies

look up a conservation organization named “Clean This Beach Up” they organized weekly cleanups.

Thank you Candice!

Thank you!

Do you guys have flyers that we can share with family members of friends? Maybe our word isn't enough but if it comes from the water department it will help

Thank you!
