Time to Re-THINK Re-CYCLING and look at Re-USE!

Today, November 15th, is America Recycles Day (ARD). ARD is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products. Celebrating its 12th year, it has grown to include millions of Americans pledging to increase their recycling habits at home and work and to buy products made with recycled materials.

At NextStep, we are always llooking for ways to take recycling to the NEXT STEP - meaning, what ELSE can we do to make a difference?
