You are presented with several different options on this website. They offer recycling labels (option of graphics or words), recycling prompts, and an option for people to design “custom recycle signs.” By having an option to custom make recycling stickers and prompts, people can target certain behaviors and use their own strategies to encourage people to save energy and conserve water. The main goal of this website is to help remind people that recycling really CAN be made easy and be made into a habit!
