Each August we turn our focus to the environment by offering
social events and educational opportunities on living a more environmentally
sustainable life. By making caring choices and creating helpful habits we can
all make a difference to our planet.
Did you know that an aluminum can may remain in its current
condition in a landfill for up to 500 years? That same can, when recycled, can
end up back on your grocer’s shelf in as little as two months. Recycling that
aluminum can also saves energy. Enough energy, in fact, to power your
television for three hours! Aluminum can be recycled over, and over and over
again – without limit. Americans will use about 2.5 million plastic bottles
every thirty minutes. If that bottle is not recycled it can spend the next 450
years or more in a landfill. A modern glass bottle will take about 4,000 years
to biodegrade. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again, and again
and again. So, the next time you are enjoying a delicious beverage, be
conscious of the packaging and make the choice to recycle.
Join us this month as we promote the environment with a
focus on our recycling programs – from annual rummage sales to shredding and
more; our educational offerings will help you to support our environment and
Breathe in Life!
