All those dish TV antennas sold on the intersections are not my printing plates.

Budson, would you be willing to write a brief "guest blog" on the challenges your business faces trying to recycle in the DR for the
Green Team blog? Nothing long or fancy necessary, and if you want to submit something simple and rough I can do the "clean up" proofing/editing (subject to your approval before being posted). One of the blog entries that has drawn the most interest was
one recently done by Timberland on what they're trying to do in their DR ops, you may wish to take a glance at that entry to get an idea of one way to do a submission.
I hope you'll consider it. If you have any questions/concerns, you can PM me or email at
greenteam@dr1.com
Thanks,
Keith R
