    I'm looking for somewhere to recycle glass in the east central Illinois region. The place I take my recycling doesn't accept glass so my garage is where I currently have it stored. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    The ecochallenge fits right into how I normally function in my life. Additionally, I have daily signed petitions and sent emails to companies and legislators regarding climate, food, access to healthcare, and animal/earth rights, laws, and other concerns. I do this through organizations I support including Earthjustice, Friends of the Earth, Humane World for Animals, PETA, and the Nature Conservancy.
