We are living in a spectacular state with abounding beauty. However, since our recycling in Bangor no longer exists, every day I feel guilty placing glass jars, tin cans, paper and plastic bags all in the same trash bin. Our newspaper regularly arrives in a 20-inch orange or blue plastic bag. Imagine – I have four entire bags stuffed full of these plastic bags since January of this year – and we are just one household of hundreds, piling up thousands of un-recycleable plastic bags! While recycling can be complex and not a financial windfall, someone must begin a program in our region. How can we attract a solution to this environmental issue? ~ Patricia Stowell, Bangor
