Recycling in National Park campgrounds.

Every weekend thousands of eager campers fill our National Park campgrounds stocked with coolers full of potentially recyclable materials which inevitably end up in the park service dumpsters when they leave.

What can we do to make a change here?
Here's an example of what is being done in Zion National park

Organic house cleaning practices

Everyday millions of people use some of the most detrimental compounds in their daily cleaning rituals. These products end up going down the drain into our water systems or into the trash can destined for the landfill.
There are many less expensive and less environmentally harmful methods for tackling these day to day cleaning tasks. Also think of all of the cleaning services in the community that are using these products at 5-10x the rate of the average household. It really starts to add up.

Local Community Composting initiative

Every week 1000's of home owners generate several tons of oraganic waste in the form of grass clippings and other pruning debris. How about working with the local governments to sponsor some local plots of unused land to host a community composting facility. The facility can be managed by volunteers and the renewable resource can be used to bueatify the local community at a savings to taxpayers.
