Let’s look at the some major league things that we can all do together as a team to clean up the environment.

First Base: Hitting a seeing-eye SINGLE up the middle!

Recycle! Get the whole family to participate!

Hey, Fields of Green Team, we’re beginning to win this recycling game!

Twenty years ago there were only 1,000 curbside programs in the U.S. Today there are more than 10,000. The rate of recycling has doubled during the past 15 years. But still... ONLY 32% of us recycle!

If we increase the recycling rate just 10 percent for aluminum and steel cans, plastic and glass containers, newsprint and corrugated packaging, we would save enough energy to provide electricity to 1.8 million Americans for an entire year.

Here’s a clear mental picture of what adding Recycling to our line-up can do?!

Recycling really improves the environment! Check this out... recycling:

• Prevents the emission of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants
• Saves energy
• Supplies valuable raw materials to industry
• Creates jobs
• Encourages development of greener technologies
• Conserves resources for our children's future
• Reduces the need for new landfills
