Recycling is an act that can be performed in many different ways.  If you think that recycling is a modern phenomenon championed by environmentalists and concerned citizens, think again.  Evidence is being discovered that hundreds of thousands of years ago, our prehistoric ancestors learned to recycle the objects they used in daily life, according to researchers gathered at an international conference in Israel.

Years ago the first cavemen would collect discarded or broken tools made of flint and bone to create new utensils.  The behavior appeared many different times, in different places, with different methods.  From caves in Spain and North Africa to sites in Italy and Israel, archaeologists have been finding such recycled tools in recent years.  This Conference, titled "The Origins of Recycling," gathered nearly 50 scholars from about 10 different countries to compare their notes and discoveries and figure out what the phenomenon meant for our ancestors.  For more information on this Conference and their findings please visit http://goo.gl/DXQpRr.

Even the cavemen recycled!  Why is it so hard for us to do?  If we work together to recycle everyday we can make the world a better place.  Call Boro-Wide Recycling for all you residential and commercial recycling needs: (718) 416-1656.
