America Recycles Day is celebrated on November 15th each year to raise awareness about the benefits of recycling. It is a nationally recognized holiday that started in 1997. Communities across American have been using this day to educate and motivate others to recycle and to buy products made with recycled materials. We must spread the word of what can be done if we all work together!
Recycling is something we have all been taught to do since we were young, but do we really do it? Do you know the impact we could have on the world if everyone recycled!? Let’s start by talking about what recycling is. Recycling is reusing materials instead of disregarding them as garbage. Waste can be reused in its original manner or converted into new materials. Typical materials we can recycle are paper, metal, plastic, glass, styrofoam, textiles and electronics. These materials are brought to a collection center, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials and new products. This benefits the environment in many ways.
Recycling saves energy, money and land space. It costs less money to reprocess used materials than it does to create them from scratch. It also reduces trash dumped in land fills, and keep in mind, most trash is not biodegradable, so it just sits there and builds up over time. Yuck! Recycling is also good for the air and water. Decomposing waste releases harmful toxins, chemicals and gases into the air and soil which eventually reach our water sources. Decreasing emissions of these gases will also help with global climate change. Therefore, the more we recycle, the less polluted our air and water will be. Don’t you want to breathe cleaner air and drink cleaner water? I know I do! Recycling also preserves wildlife because we are cutting down fewer trees to make new materials. This can help with extinction problems and leave more natural habitat for various animal species.
Thousands of events across the country will be taking place to celebrate the 14th annual America Recycles Day. Communities are cleaning up their towns and joining the festivities to help the environment. Recycling helps maintain the environment for generations to come! The international symbol for recycling is three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a part of the process; reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling is the easiest way to go green!
If you’re a jewelry lover like me, another awesome way to go green is by wearing natural or organic jewelry. There are some really beautiful natural stone tapers, tunnels, bracelets, earrings and belly rings available, and you can feel good about wearing them. You can be fashionable while respecting the environment at the same time. So remember to celebrate America Recycles Day in your own special way!
Ways that the pierced can recycle, reduce, and reuse:
1. Old body jewelry balls and gems that have been stripped or broken make great beads for all sorts of craft projects.
2. Charms and dangles from necklaces, belly rings, and just about anything make adorable charms for your shoelaces and cell phones.
3. BodyCandy ships our merchandise in reusable padded envelopes and boxes from the US Postal Service, so if you need to make a return or reship items as a gift, just cover or remove the shipping label and readdress. Pop your pieces back in, tape it up, and you’re good to go for a second usage!
4. Instead of using all that water and paper products for washes and soaks, get your hands on some H2Ocean piercing aftercare spray. Then when you’re done with it, recycle the can.

42 Minutes Ago: 16th November 2011 02:43 Re: is america now the biggest welfare state in history? We didn't ask or want to be involved in our current wars. We were dragged into them. First by the possible threat of WMDs in Iraq and then muslim terrorists forced us into Afghanistan. We are helping civilians in the middle-east, clearing up the mess left by imperial powers and are doing a good job of stabilizing the region. It will help ensure cheaper oil out of the middle east and gives us a good trade network out there. It's in nobody's interests to have a destroyed middle-east. The democrats on the other hand have done nothing but drive our deficit through the roof, try and introduce socialist healthcare and in general destroy our country. I don't know how we are going to survive another term of Obama.
The only thing I got from this was that you're gullible. 31 Minutes Ago: 16th November 2011 02:53 Re: is america now the biggest welfare state in history? So, you are so brainwashed that you are unwilling to actually argue the points. Typical democrat, ignoring the facts. Please don't destroy our country.lol stop licking the crack of sean hannity's ass. Brainwashed?---says Dykwia while looking in the mirror. Republicans aren't happy unless they are stripping rights away from americans. The republican candidates are a joke. I'm going to laugh so hard as they fall one by one. The tea party is nothing but a bunch of inbreds who escaped when the gate got left open. Round those idiots up and put them back in the cage where they belong.
Bush was and still is a liar. The wars were and still are a joke.

Republicans aren't happy unless they are stripping rights away from americans.The democrats would like nothing more than to take away all our liberties: our freedom to own a gun, our freedom of speech, our freedom to spend and invest money as we like. Do you really want socialized healthcare, half the population working for the government and for Israel to be left to the Arab nations? I'm sorry, but democrats are trying to take away all our freedoms. It's horrible and it's not going to work. The people know better. Heck, do you realize the dems want to make gay marriage and gay adoption legal? I don't want any more states legalizing these.
Bush was and still is a liar. The wars were and still are a joke. That's easy to say in hindsight. The fact is that the middle-east is a much better place because of us.

America's doing a terrible job of stabilising the region! Unlike many, I like to see the good in the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, but they aren't any more stable than they were (more free definitely, but not stable).America didn't take that much of a role in the Libya conflict. It was primarily led by Britain and France, who had to keep requesting that America did more (though granted, this is our region not yours so I don't think it was particularly unreasonable for America to step back as the rest of the NATO forces picked up the slack). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's done anything special for Egypt recently (I know it financially supported their previous dictator though).
It did nothing to help the oppression in Bahrain, presumably because of their military presence there.
Then of course there is the huge support for Israel which - even if we say it's only self defence - is destabilising the entire area.
So all in all, if this is "doing a good job", I dread to see what a failed US foreign policy would look like.

Pretty funny how you show disgust at the attempt to give gay people more rights at the end of a little rant about how awful it is they are trying to take away your liberties!It's not a fact at all. It's a fact that there has been improvements - but to say the whole region is better off is ridiculous.

are you actually being...serious? Because if you are 
I don't mean to sound offensive but from everything you've written you're coming across as a very very very stereotypical and brainwashed American...I suggest you follow your advice and "check the facts"
