America Recycles Day (ARD), is coming up soon! This November 15th, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products.
This will be the 12th year that millions of Americans have pledged to increase their recycling habits at home and work and to buy products made with recycled materials. The ARD supports local communities and raises awareness by educating citizens about the benefits of recycling. Volunteer America Recycles Day coordinators are positioned throughout the country and work to organize recycling awareness events in their schools and communities.
“The purpose of America Recycles Day is to continue to promote the social, environmental and economic benefits of recycling and encourage more people to join the movement toward creating a better natural environment.”
By taking the pledge you promise to:
-Find out what materials you can and cannot recycle in your community.
-Lead by example in your neighborhood by recycling
-Email your elected officials to ask them to increase funding for your community’s recycling program
-Tell 5 friends that recycling is the easiest thing they can do to slow global warming.
