Holiday Insights : November 15 Holiday

America Recycles Day encourages us to recycle, and use products made from recycled material. Recycling is not difficult. It sends less material to the waste stream ,and it results in consuming less of our precious and limited natural resources.

According to the National Recycling Coalition America Recycles Day "is dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products".

Use this special day to create awareness of the importance of recycling, and to increase recycling. The world will thank you for it. Even if you practice recycling today, there is probably more you can do. We encourage you to look around at home, at work, or in school, to identify ways your can practice recycling. Take an active role in encouraging others to recycle, too.

The Boy Scouts of America has the right slogan for this topic: "Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle"

Did You Know? According to a presidential proclamation by President George W. Bush, each person in America produces about four pounds of waste every day!

Origin of America Recycles Day:

President George W. Bush issued a presidential proclamation declaring November 15, 2004 as America Recycles Day.

We believe the roots of this day goes back a few years before this presidential proclamation to around 1997. The National Recycling Coalition appears to have played a role in its creation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also promotes this day.
