Did you know that the symbol was created from a contest? In
1970 the International Design Conference proposed a nationwide contest for high
school and college students to continue the growth and awareness for Earth Day.
Gary Anderson, a senior at the University of Southern
California, won the contest with his design based off the Mobius loop. The three,
green arrows that are chasing each other into a triangle, that we know today.
The 3 arrows represent the 3 steps of the recycling process.
The First Arrow – Collection of materials.
The Second Arrow – The manufacturing process.
The Third Arrow – The purchase and use of the product.

us know what you recycled this week on our Facebook page!
