You’ve seen the heartbreaking video. Plastics plaguing our oceans and so many wanting to help. Viewer Robin Taylor has been recycling for decades and sent in a question to Angela Answers and she wrote,
“My question has to do with recycling plastic. I’ve been recycling for 30 years now and I read that 80% of the plastics we recycle are just thrown in the garbage due to not being ‘clean’. I would like to know what we are doing wrong in our recycling efforts.”
