Why York is a Great Place to Study Environmental
York, PA, knows that recycling is important. The city's Public Works Department runs the Bureau of Environmental Services. Their goal is to recycle man made products like plastic bottles and aluminum cans as well as natural products like yard clippings and leaves in an effort to generate revenue, while contributing to the preservation of the environment. As the city's recycling plan is just one of many environmental initiatives, it's apparent why York is a fine region to obtain an environmental education.
