Use recycling as a way to teach your children the importance of protecting the environment. Make it a lifetime habit for your whole family. Encourage your friends, church members, co-workers and fellow club members to recycle. Make recycling a part of your outdoor ethics. Take along an extra bag to pick up litter when enjoying the outdoors.
Recycling is more than just a good idea.
It is an important way we can show our concern for the environment. The best way to start your own household recycling program is to start slow and then gradually add to the list of things you recycle. You might start with aluminum cans and newspapers, then add other items as you become familiar with what is recyclable and where it is collected. They recycle most aluminum cans into more aluminum cans. Recycling centers will buy them, crushed or uncrushed.
