For America Recycles Day 2017, I pledge to:
- Learn. I will find out what materials are collected for recycling in my community.
- Act. Within the next month, I will reduce the amount of waste I produce, I will recycle more, and I will buy products made with recycled content.
- Share. In the next month, I will encourage one family member or one friend to take the #BeRecycled pledge.
While the national recycling rate has increased over the past 30 years and is currently at 34%, Michigan's recycling rate is far behind at 15%. Recycling is good for the environment and for the economy.
