Recycle Utah has been a positive force in Summit County since its founding prior to 1990. At that time, there was no recycling option in Summit County. Through the the consistent and pervasive community educational efforts of Recycle Utah, we now have County-wide recycling, public school educational programs, community messaging and Summit County and Park City Municipal Sustainability Departments. Because of the political will generated by Recycle Utah, Summit County is on its way to becoming a national leader in sustainable community efforts. The leadership of Executive Director, Insa Reipen has been acknowledged by Leadership Park City and the Utah Non-Profits Association. Kudos.

Friends of Animals and Summit County work together to find loving partners for animals and people. Their benefit to all of us is incalculable.

When my son-in-law was paralyzed in a bicycle accident, my daughter came to Furburbia and adopted "Cody" a Lab/Shepherd mix to keep him company. Through the years, Cody has been a constant companion and "best friend" performing "fetch" tasks and keeping spirits high in low times.
