The RecycleWorks program of San Mateo County has significantly expanded its website, www.RecycleWorks.org, to help residents |
|
and businesses of San Mateo County take advantage of local environmental resources. The new sections include a focus on sustainability, environmental education, and environmental programs offered by each of the 21 jurisdictions in San Mateo County . RecycleWorks.org was recently redesigned and expanded to address sustainability, which incorporates a broader range of issues than recycling alone. The sustainability section of the RecycleWorks website addresses fundamental changes to the way energy, housing, product design, environmental policy and business is being thought about. Sustainable solutions are not easy and require collaboration among many sectors of the economy. For those who are not connected to the web, RecycleWorks also maintains a hotline at 1-888-442-2666.
