Chicagoans call for better recycling, more public transportation as city designs 2022 climate action plan
One resident called for better recycling throughout the city, with distribution in all offices and residential buildings.
As of last year, Chicago’s recycling rate remains in the single digits, with about 9% of refuse diverted from the trash.
Another participant said better CTA service would make it easier for residents to lessen dependency on cars.
A Chicago Tribune analysis in December of CTA data found trains and buses were running less frequently than before the pandemic.
