MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO,
the non-profi t Keep America Beautiful (KAB) was founded. The organization is dedicated to protecting and preserving the environment. Americans produce about 200 million tons of garbage each year and while 70 percent of it is recyclable, we only recycle about 30 percent. Beyond refuse, we leave our sloppy footprints on our planet in various other ways as well. What can you do to become a better steward of our planet?
UPCYCLING IS FUN FOR THE FAMILY. Turn trash into treasure! Old metal objects can become birdhouses; tattered wood becomes furniture, décor, or art; and plastic containers have an array of up-uses! Visit www.upcyclethat.com.
CIGARETTES ARE UNHEALTHY FOR THE PLANET, TOO! Cigarettes are the most littered item in the country. Visit KAB’s Cigarette Litter Prevention Program website at www.preventcigarettelitter.org to nd out how to create an initiative in your community.
CHECKOUT THE GAMEDAY RECYCLING CHALLENGE. is friendly competition encourages colleges and universities to implement waste reduction programs and events during home football games. More information is available at www.gamedaychallenge.org.
NO MORE PLASTIC STRAWS! According to www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org, “In only the past twenty years, people have come to expect plastic straws in every drink, in an example of extreme waste being generated for minimal convenience. ese short-lived tools are usually dropped into a garbage can with no further thought, instantly becoming one of the biggest sources of plastic pollution.”
LEARN HOW TO RECYCLE PROPERLY. Most of us recycle to some degree but there is a greater need for understanding and implementing the proper and most e cient ways to recycle. Visit www.berecycled.org to go from an occasional “trash separator” to an everyday recycler who is really making a di erence for Mother Earth. w
