communities, growers and retailers. They generally
require large amounts of coordination and volunteers,
and they may require subsidization, depending on the
amount of plastic collected, density of packing and
distance to the recycler. At Michigan State University,
we’ve conducted two successful recycling drives and
collected more than four tons of plastic. In Emmet
County, Mich., a collection drive this spring collected
nearly fi ve tons of plastic in four hours! There are many
more successful examples. It is clear that the gardening
public, greenhouse growers and landscapers are eager
to divert more plastic from landfi lls — it makes eco-
nomic and environmental sense. They just need to be
given the opportunity!
