Help the Earth - Recycle

It is time for our annual recycling drive! Recycling means taking a product or material at the end of its useful life and making it a usable raw material to make another product. We have been very successful with paper and plastic products. Last year, we recycled more items than our previous three years. Let's try to do it again this year. We will have a dinner for everyone involved with the recycle drive on Saturday night. We hope to see you all there!

About Recycling

According to the United State Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, "recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment." The benefits of recycling include:

• Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators
• Conserving natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals
• Preventing pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials
• Saving energy
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change
• Helping sustain the environment for future generations
• Helping create new well-paying jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States

When

The recycling program will run from Sunday, November 15, 2015 to Saturday, November 21, 2015. It will end with the participant dinner at 6:00pm on Saturday, November 21, 2015. Note for anyone stumbling upon this page- These dates and the event are made up for the assignment.
