The Georgia Recycling Coalition announced a strategic plan to increase recycling in Georgia.
The plan will focus on increasing recycling through innovative education and grant programs. Applicants must show how they plan to increase the amount they recycle, or must develop an innovative educational program to help increase recycling in their community. Cities, counties, schools and Keep Georgia Beautiful affiliates are eligible to apply for a total of $20,000, and approved applicants are eligible for up to $1,000 each from GRC.
"The key to any successful recycling program is education. GRC is uniquely qualified to educate Georgians about the ease and benefits of recycling," said Gloria Hardegree, GRC executive director. "GRC's network of recycling coordinators, businesses and Keep Georgia Beautiful affiliates will help us further promote and enhance recycling efforts and ultimately increase recovery rates."
GRC will outline details of their strategic plan at their Annual Conference, Trade Show and Membership Meeting on August 25-28, 2002, at Sea Palms on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
