| Message | I submit to you that by careful waste management and education, we can positively impact land use in regards to fills and decrease natural resource dependency through recycling. With all facets of Cobura involved in a waste reduction and management program, we are exporting the culture of environmentalism to the Coburan people and acclimatizing them to the modern reality of garbage and recycling. |
