Recycled Cardboard Quiz
Hello. My name is Carlos. Carlos Cardboard. There is nothing in the world I love more than cardboard. I simply cannot get enough of it. And even though I love it so, I love recycling it even more. Which admittedly is ironic, but whatever. If you love recycling as much as I do, this test will prove that the rules for recycling cardboard are quite simple.
