For 15 years, our country has celebrated AmericaRecyclesDay as a time to focus on conserving valuable materials, keeping our communities clean, and protecting our environment.
Today, more than 500 elementary school students in our local public school hauled recyclable bags filled with more recyclable plastic bags to school to mark AmericaRecyclesDay.
As many of us prepare to gather with families and friends this Thanksgiving, AmericaRecyclesDay offers a chance to highlight another resource that is too often taken for granted: food.
