Happy #AmericaRecyclesDay! ♻️ Recycling is something you can do every single day to positively impact our environment. Recycling matters - recycling: ♻️ Reduces the amount of waste taking up space in our landfill. ♻️ Conserves natural resources like timber, water, and precious minerals. ♻️ Reduces pollution by reducing the extraction, refinement, and processing of raw materials - which pollute our air and water. ♻️ Saves energy - creating products from recycled materials typically requires less energy than producing them from raw materials. If you have questions about recycling in Lucas County, refer to our website: https://lnkd.in/gTkh9YBf
