Image from Lee's Summit, MO city websiteLet's celebrate our country's dedication to recycling today by pledging to take the extra step and sort out those cans, bottles, and boxes to reduce waste! Since 1997, Americans have been coming together on November 15 to promote education and motivation for recycling. Today is a day to get your community excited for what can be accomplished through cooperation and the benefits we receive socially, environmentally, and economically from recycling. Doreen on Mom Goes Green reminds us of a few great reasons to recycle, including reducing pollution, saving natural resources, and keeping trash out of landfills. She also lists some facts to think about. For example, glass takes over 4,000 years to decompose, but can be recycled forever!
You can learn more about America Recycles Day on their website and you can take a pledge to learn about recycling options in your community as well as to act to reduce your own personal waste by recycling a new material.
