What if I told you there were multiple ways to make money from repurposed plastic, newspapers, aluminum cans, used clothes and other waste destined for landfills?
Start a Creative Recycling Side Hustle gives examples of people around the world who are thriving in the gig economy selling recycled trash.
They have learned how to tap into the mega-trend: be a sustainable business:
* Consumers (almost 90% according to Forbes) want earth-friendly products that help save the planet.
* Etsy has seen a forty-three percent year-over-year rise in all categories for eco-friendly items (source: MarthaStewart.com).

Author's note: Love her or hate her, Greta Thunberg has created a storm of controversy around the topic of climate change. A cartoon reading "Make America Greta Again" sparked the idea for this book, though I'm not a political activist. I believe those who can make a real difference are businesses: large - small - even side hustles. And if you can get paid to help save the planet, what's wrong with that? I hope this book inspires you to be part of the change you want to see in the world.
