Shawnee State University to celebrate
America Recycles Day
“I Recycle” is the theme of the 2010 America Recycles Day (ARD)
that takes place on November 15 each year.
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 which is
organized by Keep America Beautiful and dedicated to
encouraging people to recycle more at home, at work and on
the go.
More
than a celebration, ARD is the only nationally recognized
day dedicated to the promotion of recycling programs in the
U.S. One day to inform and educate. One day to get our
neighbors, friends and community leaders excited about what
can be accomplished when we all work together. One day to
make recycling bigger and better 365 days a year.
At
Shawnee State University, Chris Kelly with Rumpke will be
speaking on the benefits of recycling at 2 p.m. on Monday,
Nov. 15 in the University Center Lobby.
“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.”
Shawnee
State encourages recycling and recycles 365 days a year with
bins located on campus for the university community. For

the Center for Community Service (740) 351-3572. For more
