We’ve all seen the three chasing arrows in the shape of a triangle, but what does that symbol really mean? ♻️ The recycling symbol represents a continuous cycle: collect, process, reuse. It’s a reminder that when we recycle right, materials can become something new again and again.

But not everything with a recycling symbol belongs in your curbside bin. Local guidelines matter!

This World Recycling Day, take a second look before you toss. If you’re unsure, don't guess, just ask! Learn what’s accepted in your Hampton Roads community: https://brnw.ch/21x0Ql4

Sharing resources from our neighbors.

We need your input on a 3-minute survey about our Green Drinks meetings. Since YNot Italian closed in late 2024, we've been trying out different venues for our Green Drinks gatherings; none have been ideal and attendance has suffered. We ask you to please take a few minutes to tell us about your preferences for meeting dates, location, and topics. Your input is valuable to us.

Skip the Straw Day is officially TODAY, but let's make it a year-round habit! 🚫🥤 Plastic straws might seem small, but they're a big problem for our local waterways. Americans use 500 million plastic straws every day, and many end up polluting rivers, beaches, and the Chesapeake Bay.

The straw problem:
• Used for minutes, pollute for hundreds of years
• Are not accepted for recycling locally
• Harm marine life and wildlife
• Contribute to microplastic pollution

Easy solution: bring your own reusable straw on the go!

Small swap, huge difference! Skip the straw today and every day to protect our waterways.
