It's true: the world is running out of cork! And what's even worse is that millions of corks--a resource that can be reused and recycled--are being dumped into landfills. Projects like Recork America (based in the Bay Area) and Yemm and Hart (based in Missouri) are working to organize recycling programs so that we don't have to waste tons of cork.
