Looking for other ways to celebrate America Recycles Day?

#BeRecycled is to encourage a commitment to the “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.” mantra in every aspect of your life – at home, at work/school, and on-the-go. And it doesn’t have to stop there. When you purchase items, look for those made with recycled content – this supports the circular economy!

Here are some books to consider for celebrating and observing America Recycles Day
