In this episode of Encounter Cottage Grove, we speak with the  Founder and Director of EcoGeneration David Gardiepy. EcoGeneration is a  local non-profit that runs a unique Lane County Recycling Take-Back  Program that started it's work in rural communities and is now in the  process of expanding.

The website states as part of their mission;

"We take pride in knowing that we are actively working  to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills while preserving our  resources for future generations."

During this episode, we discuss recycling, waste, and the costs of consumer culture.
