AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 16, 2010) — “I Recycle” was the theme of the 2010 America Recycles Day (ARD), which took place on November 15. Millions of Americans have pledged to increase their recycling habits at home and at work over the 13-year history of ARD, a nationally-recognized initiative that is organized by Keep America Beautiful and was started by EnviroMedia co-founders Kevin Tuerff and Valerie Davis.
EnviroMedia and other tenants of Hartland Plaza in Austin proudly declared “I Recycle. Do you?” on November 15 by shredding 2,500 pounds of paper and collecting 1,390 pounds of computer components for Goodwill Industries.
“America Recycles Day is designed to educate, motivate, and inspire individuals to recycle more while encouraging their friends and families to do the same,” said Keep America Beautiful President and CEO Matt McKenna. “Keep America Beautiful encourages you to participate in ARD and celebrate what can be accomplished when everyone works together to promote recycling efforts 365 days a year.”
