About Art of Recycle’s Programs - Education is a Necessity
How Is Recycling Able to Impact Our Communities?
Art of Recycle serves the tri-state area and beyond. Our programs impact hundreds of thousands of individuals, their family members, their instructors and the impact keeps on multiplying as it reverberates throughout our communities in multiple facets. Better education and better instruction combined with better activities make a better and more harmonic society.
To show the impact that Art of Recycle is having on our society, we are using this impact page to list the organizations that are collecting free resources from AoR’s resource center, the resources that they are receiving, who is being served, and the amount of people that are being served by those organizations. The impact and outreach that one small organization in one small burough is making is immeasurable, and every community could be striving to do similar outreach to improve the education of our citizens of this great nation.
Education improves lives, minimizes the possibility of homelessness, increases employment prospects, makes better communities, decreases crime, and so much more. Why aren’t we all doing more?
