Get Smart About Recycling

Mike McNamme, Director of Recycling for the Chicago Resource Center joined us on October 23 to help us get smart on recycling in Chicago and at the School. For over 30 years, the Resource Center, a non-profit environmental education organization, has led the way in demonstrating innovative techniques for recycling and reusing materials. They provide recycling services for several of the school's buildings.

We watched a video clip showing the work of photographer Chris Jordan. His "Running the Numbers" series dramatically visualize the tons of waste we produce in the U.S. every day.
