Recycling Action Website Tops a Million Hits a Month

GEORGIA, ATHENS, Apr. 16 -/E-Wire/-- Who says interest in recycling and grassroots action is declining? The website of the GrassRoots Recycling Network (GRRN) passed the million-per-month hit mark for the first time in March.

The most visited section, as usual, was the Kids Recycle! section.

GRRN's website (www.GRRN.org) is the leading source in North America for information and action opportunities for the recycling public. GRRN promotes Zero Waste as the new vision of the grassroots recycling movement, and cradle-to-cradle producer responsibility as the key to healthy, waste-free communities.

The website offers visitors opportunities for taking immediate action by writing the CEOs of some of the world's largest corporations â including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Dell, Dow and Lexmark.

"These companies profess to care about the environment, but their actions undercut recycling and hurt the planet," said GRRN Co-Director Bill Sheehan. "Our free e-letters have given thousands of concerned citizens a convenient way of taking action. They helped make Coke and Pepsi start using recycled content in their plastic bottles, which will keep 2 billion plastic bottles out of our landfills each year."

"Web traffic has been increasing steadily for the past four years," said Chris Sparnicht, GRRN's webmaster. "March and April, leading up to Earth Day, are usually heavy months, and this year is no exception."

The GrassRoots Recycling Network is a North American network of waste reduction activists and professionals promoting producer responsibility and Zero Waste as critical
