Nice, long and well-written blog. I will think twice from now on when I am thinking about chucking my empty iced tea bottle into a random trash can instead of the recycling bin. For a while, I had thought that recycling did not save money for industry, but it seems you have proven that otherwise! If I were to suggest any improvements, I say you should proofread it, because I caught a few small grammar mistakes. Nevertheless, you clearly put a lot of work into this. Well done!
