During World War II, recycling was a way of life on the home front.
Rubber, tin cans, cooking grease, paper, scrap iron, those and many more items were recycled
for the war effort.
It was a time of crisis.
The nation desperately needed new sources of raw materials.
Millions of Americans were united in a common cause.
Today we face a crisis no less real, but of another sort.
A solid waste crisis that can no longer be ignored.
We are simply running out of places to put our garbage.
With your help, we can meet this new challenge as well.
Source separation and recycling will save valuable space in our landfills and help protect
our drinking water and the air we breathe.
Together, we Americans can win the war against waste.
Start recycling today.
