Millions of Americans work together every year on November 15th to observe America Recycles Day. In addition to reducing your individual consumption and reusing materials, recycling is a direct path to reducing your environmental footprint. Recycling returns materials into production streams to be reprocessed into useful items. The process reduces waste, conserves resources, and saves energy associated with manufacturing products. "America Recycles Day isn’t just a one-day thing," says Keep America Beautiful, "it’s a chance to look at your recycling habits and make some awesome changes that will last."
Join the Office of Sustainability in marking this year's America Recycles Day by learning more about recycling or by teaching others to recycle. Check out the Tulane Office of Sustainability Instagram @greentulane to learn more.
