             DON'T WASTE IT!

     November 15th is "America Recycles

Day." The average American throws out

4.9 pounds of trash every single day. Much

of that "trash" includes products that could,

and should be recycled. Cardboard for

instance. Cardboard can be recycled 7 or

more times. And how about paper? Recycling

one ton of paper saves 17 trees and 380

gallons of oil! Aluminum cans are the

most recycled objects. Recycling one ton

of aluminum cans saves 21 barrels of oil.

Recycling one ton of plastic would save

685 barrels of oil! So there are plenty

of things you can recycle. Paper, glass

bottles, plastics, and aluminum cans.

And this "America Recycles Day" is

the day to get on board and join the

effort! Oh. One reminder. Before

tossing any cans or bottles make sure

they're empty. I'm working on getting

a wine bottle ready right now! Hope

you're recycling and that all your

NEWS is good!
