Gov. Rick Snyder rolled out a new statewide recycling plan today in hopes of convincing more of us to recycle.
The governor and recycling activists say we can do a lot better when it comes to recycling.
Right now, Michigan recycles about 15% of all reusable materials. That's way below the national average of 35%. And Michigan is seventh among the eight Great Lakes states in its recycling performance.
What are we losing by throwing out all that glass, plastic, metal and paper? And what's in the governor's plan to get us to recycle these materials?
We were joined by Kerrin O'Brien, executive director of the Michigan Recycling Coalition.
Listen to the full interview above.
