Celebrate America Recycles Day on November 15th

Oct 31, 2012

The goal of America Recycles Day is to educate all Americans about the economic, environmental, and public health benefits associated with recycling, and to motivate everyone to recycle more. It is the only nationally recognized day where millions of U.S. residents pledge to improve their recycling habits at work, at home, and on the go. Take the pledge to recycle at www.americarecyclesday.org. All pledges will be automatically entered into a regional contest for a $300 gift certificate to a local bicycle shop.
