WHERE DOES IT GO?
An Environmental Education Series
We know that there is no “Away” when we throw things out. So, Where Does It Go?
The ‘Where Does It Go?’ Series was created to explore where things like our recycling, food & clothing go once they leave our hands.
In precise, well-researched story telling, Where Does It Go? seeks to educate about the waste systems that exist in the US to help us become more mindful consumers so that we can combat the environmental and social impacts of our own trash and air/land/water pollution from larger industries.
