The “Start Smart, Recycle Right” public awareness campaign by askHRgreen.org placed a call for artists in fall 2022 to find a local talent to create a recycling-themed LOVE sign. Tom Shirk and his students from Suffolk Public Schools’ College & Career Academy at Pruden created a welding piece filled with recyclable bottles and cans. The sign has been traveling through Hampton Roads since it was completed last April. It is now on display at the Gloucester County Public Library, Main Street Center location, until Feb. 15.
