Increased environmental awareness has led to a greater demand for recycled paper.

Recycling is something you can do as an individual, but the more people you get on board the more effective your recycling efforts will be.
Here are some tips and ideas for raising recycling awareness in your community:

1. Organize a neighborhood clean-up day.  Look around and identify the areas with the greatest need, and assign individuals or groups to particular areas.
2. Get your message out by email or other eco-friendly means, such as flyers printed on recycled paper.
3. Set up a website or blog which people can refer to. You can post events and articles here and keep people updated.
4. Go into the public schools in your area and engage students with a presentation. Most schools are receptive to environmental causes. Maybe a field trip for students to tour the local recycling facility or clean up an area in the city could be arranged.
5. See about getting recycling bins set up in convenient places.
6. Volunteer at a nearby organization that has recycling projects. Invite others to volunteer as well.
7. Attend environmentally-themed events in your community, and make connections with other people.
8. Organize neighborhood trips to the recycling center.
9. Write your local newspaper about your concerns.
10. Attend your City Council meetings and present the need for recycling. Also present specific goals and ideas to the Council.
