Dazed and Reused
Please raise your right hand and repeat after us: I pledge allegiance to America Recycles Day (ARD), taking place November 15, 2009. The annual event, hosted by Keep America Beautiful and the National Recycling Coalition, encourages Americans to recycle and buy recycled products. Make plans now to attend an ARD event near you.
And, just for you national anthem-lovin’ recyclers out there, we penned a few lyrics we think you’ll appreciate.
Oh, say, can you see, plastic piled to great heights,
What so proudly we stacked from the floor to the ceiling?
The broad cans and bright jars, recycled day and night,
And the bottles we saved were so gallantly gleaming?
And the cardboard we spared, the pizza boxes we shared,
Gave proof through the night that for the planet we cared.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the green and the droves of recyclables saved?
Can’t make it to America Recycles Day? Recycle your cardboard and electronics at Green Piece Indy’s last Rush Hour Recycling event of the year, taking place Nov. 12 at Earth House Collective, 237 N. East St. So far we’ve collected a whopping 32 tons of electronics and cardboard!
Piece out,
Renee & Meghan
