November 15, 2010 is “America Recycles Day”, a day to remind us of the importance of recycling and to encourage folks to "join the movement toward creating a better natural environment by recycling and buying recycled products” and “promotes the social, environmental and economic benefits of recycling.”
Will you participate, support the day and spread the word? Share with GH on what you will do...
And, as we celebrate the day, let’s remember WHY we recycle:
• to reduce pollution • tosave energy • to help the environment
• to save natural resources • to keep trash out of landfills
A few points to consider-
1. PLASTIC– I could take 20 years for plastic bags to biodegrade and 250 years for a plastic cup! Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! If every household recycled just one of every 10 plastic bottles, 200 million pounds of plastic would be kept out of landfills each year!
