Happy America Recycles Day !!
Did you know that if every household in the U.S. recycled just three more plastic bottles a month, we could divert more than 23 million pounds of plastic from our landfills, and recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for up to three hours? Did you know that throwing away a single aluminum can, versus recycling it, is like pouring out six ounces of gasoline? Last year, Americans recycled enough aluminum cans to conserve the energy equivalent of more than 15 million barrels of oil.
Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on Nov. 15 to celebrate America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States. One day to make recycling bigger and better 365 days a year.
The words "I recycle" - a simple declaration, a simple act. But it's one that has the power to change the world.
Recycle!
