NCRA has history! Its origins go back to the first Earth Day, and the roots of modern recycling. Some of the founders are still around and participating. NCRA is a great place to get an ecological perspective on recycling issues, which is not easy to find in the current waste diversion at all cost mindset. While it's unlikely that members will agree with all the positions and actions that the organization takes, NCRA offers a valuable networking opportunity and reference point for all things recycling.
