We all hear about everyone going green all over the world. But how are we going green in our own state? As you know recycling is going on all over the state. In Colorado the recycle rate was about 22%. That has increased almost 60% from 2001. In Larimer County alone, they have recycled over 34,000 tons of trash and garbage. This is up from 1993 which was around 14,000 tons recycled. Also on the Colorado University campus, students have been taking the time to take junk from around the campus and have been recycling it. The year-to -date gallons of oil conserved was 3,402,036 gallons . The gallons of water that were saved: 51,434,670.
Clearly, Colorado is playing a big part in helping the environment.
