Reducing your use of plastic, as well as properly disposing of the plastic you do use, are fantastic steps to limiting pollution in Lake Michigan and our local waterways. Further, composting can curb your carbon-footprint by keeping food out of the landfill.
Chicagoans can use this resource to learn more about how to make a difference by recycling and composting in the city, and why it’s important for protecting our blue planet.
This video was written, directed and produced by Chicago teens as part of the Coastal Ecosystem Learning Centers (CELC) network (noaa.gov/office-education/celc), coordinated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Teens first completed a community needs assessment and determined a need for additional resources on recycling and composting in the city of Chicago.
