TEN REASONS TO RECYCLE 1. GOOD FOR OUR ECONOMY American companies rely on recycling programs to provide the raw materials they need to make products. 2. CREATES JOBS Recycling in the US is a $236 billion a year industry. More than 56,000 recycling and reuse enterprises employ 1.1 million workers na onwide. 3. REDUCES WASTE The average American discards 7 1/2 pounds of garbage every day. Most of this garbage goes into landfills, where it’s compacted and buried. 4. GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources, and keeps waste from piling up in landfills. 5. SAVES ENERGY Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials. Manufacturing with recycled aluminum cans uses 95% less energy. 5. RECYCLING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS Teaching our youth recycling prac ces now, ensures that our environment will be improved for all future genera ons. 7. PREVENTS GLOBAL WARMING In 2000, recycling of solid waste prevented the release of 32.9 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE - the unit of measure for green house gasses) into the air. 8. REDUCES WATER POLLUTION Making goods from recycled materials generates far less water pollu on than manufacturing from virgin materials. 9. PROTECTS WILDLIFE Using recycled materials reduces the damage to forests, wetlands, rivers and other places essen al to wildlife. 10. CREATES NEW DEMAND Recycling and buying recycling products creates demand for more recycled products, decreasing waste and helping our economy. 2 Library Place,, Hanover, PA 17331 632-5183 www.guthrielibrary.org Planned Giving the Swingin’ Seven Band and sample delicious hors d’oeuvres.
