NK+Recycling+Program

__Problem Statement:__
Consider a society in which each household recycles and no plastic goods are thrown away. In the past decades, the amount of recycable materials have filled up our world's landfills. If we contine to choose not to recycle, landfills such as the Johnston Landfill will become over-filled, and they will create eyesores for the state. In order to contain the materials going into the landfill, we propose a method of recycling in which each household is required to recycle. Recycling will be mandatory in North Kingstown and a penalty will be charged if recycables are thrown away.

Nicole Warner, Rosie Warburton, and Kathryn Coleman have planned a trash pick-up in order to raise awareness about the amount of trash and the need for recycling in our town.

Recycling and an issue, cheap way to clean up the earth and help save our planet. It has come to our attention that many residents in North Kingstown do not recycle. This makes us angry because it is so easy and would help so much if everyone did it. By instilling a recycling program, similar to that of Warwick, we will become a model for other towns and hopefully influence them to change as well. If we got every member in North Kingstown to recycle, it would help out so much. People don’t realize how much their efforts can help change. By requiring people to recycle, it will cause change and people will see how important their actions and responsibility is to save our planet.

The North Kingstown Recycling Program (N.K.R.O) is an organization that is working toward changing the recycling program in North Kingstown. Currently, residents are allowed to choose whether they want to recycle or not. With this program, we are trying to get it required that citizens recycle.
