Sounds provacative, right? But I see iterations of this headline on a very regular basis from around the country. The title of the blog today is verbatim from a Star Tribune (Minnesota) article published on June 1st. Check it out for yourself: http://www.startribune.com/business/120993779.html
The reason I bring it up is because here in the state of Virginia recycling is treated as a necessary evil, or at least that's how it feels. Clearly a more regulatory friendly environment and maybe some tax incentives would allow us to grow the industry here, and add real -green- jobs as we go.
But in spite of a persistently high unemployment rate, will it happen? Not anytime soon. Virginia continues to be landfill friendly with little on the horizon to indicate a change in direction.
Hopefully operations like ours will show a new direction that those in a position to create change can use!
