FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 16, 2003
Recycling Action Website Tops A Million Hits A
Month
Who says interest in recycling and grassroots
action is declining? The website of the
GrassRoots Recycling Network (GRRN) passed the
Million-per-month hit mark for the first time in March.
The most visited section, as usual, was the Kids
Recycle! section.
GRRN's website (www.GRRN.org) is the leading
source in North America for information and
action opportunities for the recycling public.
GRRN promotes Zero Waste as the new vision of
the grassroots recycling movement, and cradle-
to-cradle producer responsibility as the key to
healthy, waste-free communities.
The website offers visitors opportunities for
taking immediate action by writing the CEOs of
some of the world's largest corporations -
including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Dell, Dow and
Lexmark.
"These companies profess to care about the
environment, but their actions undercut
recycling and hurt the planet," said GRRN Co-
Director Bill Sheehan. "Our free e-letters have
given thousands of concerned citizens a
convenient way of taking action. They helped
make Coke and Pepsi start using recycled content
in their plastic bottles, which will keep 2
billion plastic bottles out of our landfills
each year."
"Web traffic has been increasing steadily for
the past four years," said Chris Sparnicht,
GRRN's webmaster. "March and April, leading up
to Earth Day, are usually heavy months, and this
year is no exception."
