Hey! America Recycles Day is this week. Are you recycling?

If you didn’t know America Recycles Day is, officially, this Sunday the 15th of November.  Now in it’s twelfth year, according to the site, this day was established to encourage Americans to evaluate their recycling habits, increase their own recycling efforts (something this blog is trying to raise awareness to) as well as to encourage consumers of the option to buy recycled products. I encourage you to visit the AmericaRecyclesDay.org site as it provides interactive tools such as a recycling impact conversion calculator to calculate your recycling impact, a calendar of events and a pledge form for those that want to pledge to increasing their personal efforts in raising recycling awareness in their area.
