We Missed Celebrating America Recycles Day! Posted by Andy Kondrat on November 17, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Well, we missed another “holiday,” this time being America Recycles Day.  It was Saturday.  Now, treehugger thinks this is a (explitive deleted) holiday, and we should make November 15 Zero Waste Day.  Part of the reasoning is that America Recycles Day is brought to you by the fine people that make things that are put in recyclable despensers: Coke, Bud, Coors, the bottled water industry, and so forth.  It seems also that they’re not too happy with the fact that recycling is a transfer of responsibility from corporations to taxpayers. But what they fail to realize are these very impressive and completely false facts about recycling:

–Every time you say “I don’t believe in recycling,” a fairy dies.

–Did you know that the energy saved from recycling just one can is enough to power the sun for fifty years?

–Recycling comes from the Latin, “recyclicaie,” which means “to be way sexy.”

–If you don’t recycle in Canada, they club a baby seal.

–Every time you do recycle, an angel gets its wings.

–If every person on earth recycled just one can a day, everyone would get a pony.

–The first thing ever to be recycled was a woolly mammoth.

–(Straight guys and gay girls only) You see that girl over there that’s way cute?  She’s totally into recycling.

–(Straight girls and gay guys only) You see that super-stud over there?  He thinks recycling is like, the coolest.

I hope these facts have helped convince you that recycling is necessary.  takepart and learn where you can recycle what…you can recycle pretty much anything these days.
