America Recycles Day, Nov. 15, is a national awareness program that promotes the benefits of buying recycled products and recycling old ones. The purpose of the day is to learn about recycling, make a commitment to increase recycling activities, and to purchase more products made from recycled materials. Buying recycled, closes the loop, as recycled items (instead of virgin natural resources) are utilized to make new products. Stronger markets for our re- cyclable items are then created. Your attitude and actions can make a world of dif- ference. Let’s do our part, because almost everything Going Green can be recycled…except the planet.
