Charlevoix Conservation District supports Charlevoix County Recycling Program
Recycling applies to the purpose of conservation districts quite well: "Managing our natural resources and providing easy access to resource management assistance to the citizens of the state".
Recycling reduces pollution from extraction and manufacturing processes. The environmental and economic premise of recycling is sound: re-using natural resources over and over again, after they have been extracted from the earth. By conserving the dwindling supply of these resources and protecting the few remaining undamaged ecosystems left on the earth, we are preserving them for future generations. Overall, the processes used to make consumer goods from recycled material instead of raw resources is much more energy and water efficient.
