Quick Write

    My story is on the subject of recycling in Austin, as we recently missed our goal of 50% of our waste being recycled by now. At the beginning, I talk about what the goal was, how we missed it, and some reasons for why we missed it. In the heart of the story I mention possible solutions to our problems and ways we can work towards them. In the conclusion I mention how important finding a solution is to us and the environment, eventually if we want to get back on track with our recycling goals as a city.
