Recycling Above the Arctic Circle

During Bill's 2003 trip to Arctic Village, the tour group noticed the man-made clutter of this pristine land. After establisihng recycling programs in Michigan involving youth, Bill approached the Arctic Village school principal and teachers. They were already considering a recycling program through the school. So, through brainstorming and discussions with the students and Bill, a plan was developed and implemented. The entire village was cleaned by the students, teachers, and Bill with recyclables be sorted and flown to Fairbanks. This is an ongoing program and the villagers say the first above the Arctic Circle.
