as a ranger, i've seen too many folks turn their backs on the beauty above us, not realizing that recycling is a blueprint for respecting our wilderness. it's not about having to recommence from scratch but recognizing that the opportunity to preserve our forests and wildlife is often in disguise. by embracing recycling, we engage in an act of stewardship, ensuring that the natural splendor that encompasses us remains vibrant and thriving for generations to come.
