Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

America Recycles DayOne just needs to give it a try and find out that recycling is much easier than most people think it is. REALLY, it is VERY EASY !

And actually, in my opinion, easy or not, we as stewards of this beautiful planet should be eager to do everything possible to perserve and protect our environment. As mentioned in the National Recycling Coalition's website; before the 1920's, 70% of U.S. cities ran programs to recycle certain materials. And during World War II, industry recycled and reused about 25% of the waste stream.

November 15th is being celebrated as America Recycles Day. Take a step or take a bigger step by committing to enhance your current recycling habits. Take the pledge to make a difference.

Take the pledge on the National Recycling Coalition's site and pass on the challenge to at least 5 others. No matter your financial situation right now in these tough times, there's no reason why you can't be part of the solution to pollution. It only takes a little effort, to make a substantal difference to the planet.

You can learn more about Shaklee's environmental legacy by going to my website and reading about the numerous milestones that Shaklee has completed, with the products they distribute, and the causes they sponsor and/or have spearheaded. Also, read about Wangari Maathai, one of Shaklee's honorary ambassadors.
