The Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub is doing much more than just keeping items out of the landfill. They work to increase awareness of the connections among “things,” consumer habits, and harmful environmental consequences by providing a literal hub where almost anything can be recycled or reused. These efforts aim to shift norms and expectations away from disposability and toward sustainability – where the value of an item is judged not only by its immediate utility, but also by its long-term effects on the environment, the economy, and social justice.
