Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day. Keep Liberty Beautiful is inviting you to take the pledge.
“America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products,” according to www.keepevansvillebeautiful.org. “Since its inception in 1997, it has grown to include millions of Americans pledging to increase their recycling habits at home and work.”
 America Recycles Day 2011 is sponsored nationally by Keep America Beautiful, Nestle Waters, the American Chemistry Council, Earth 911 and several national industries. Keep Liberty Beautiful encourages residents to log on to the America Recycles Day website at www.americarecyclesday.org and take the pledge. Or fill out a pledge form at one of KLB’s events in the next week.
Regularly recycling even one item makes a significant difference over time. Recycling is a simple way for all Americans to protect the environment, preserve natural resources and contribute to the economic well-being of our country. 
Keep Liberty Beautiful encourages residents to get to know their solid waste and all the other resources that they might be wasting, like energy and water.
