Over the first weekend of November 2020, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) continued its Adopt a Park & Soft Plastic Bags and Film Recycling Project. It is a continuing effort for the GPA students to put their influence on the local community since their last public speech to the West Windsor Council on October 15, 2019 to support an ordinance proposed to reduce the usage of plastic bags.
Recycling has become as common today as taking out the trash. But not all items can recycle easily. Most of the soft plastic bags and film still end up in the landfill unless we intentionally separate and collect them for special recycling treatment. The GPA conservation team members are collecting all of those soft plastic items and having them delivered to designated locations for proper recycling.
GPA members followed social distancing rules to protect people and themselves while cleaning a park. Stay safe, everyone!
