need suggestions... reptiles and recycling theme.

I have two shows coming up, one a library show in August and one a county fair show in September in which I have been requested to incorporate a recycling theme into my standard reptile/amphibian show. I've been asked to do this so the organizer of the event can get their local recycling center to pay for it. Fair enough but I need some suggestions.

I figured I can talk about the importance of recycling and the Great Pacific Garbage patch and the dangers of floating plastic bags to sea turtles. The obvious ramification of trash and garbage and habitat degradation but I'd like a few more specifics. I haven't googled it yet and I will as soon as I am done with this post but I thought I would ask here if anyone was aware of any specific reptile/recycling tie ins. It can be anything from how a certain recycling effort has helped save a species or lack of a recycling plan has hurt one. Maybe how certain types of recyclables are harmful to certain species. when they were considering my bug show I thought of how often I find half full beer and soda cans and how they are often full of bugs who have crawled in and died. Something along those lines.

I have a bit of time yet so even if you have very vague suggestions I would appreciate it.

thanks in advance
