Duy Tran 7/22/2019 3:54 PMSo many products we come into contact with nowadays are plastic. It is important that we learn the different types, their uses, their effects on the environment, and if they are recyclable or not. I found this website that charts the different plastics and gives information about the various types of plastics in everyday products. https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/promo-university/different-types-of-plastic.htm -

It is great that Portland offers the option and hopefully many apartments in the city and other cities throughout the country adopt composting.
