On Memorial Day, we remember all of those who have served our country and given the ultimate sacrafice. These days we tend to focus on the current conflicts though I naturally think back to Pearl Harbor and the beginnings of World War II. Why?
After the Japanese brought us into that war and we suddenly needed to gear up war time production of everthing from bullets to tanks, the US government issued a call to citizens to collect all sorts of materials necessary for the massive manufacturing effort. This early recycling drive planted the seeds for an industry that has evolved and grown even as wars have come and gone.
So today we would ask that you honor the brave men and women who have died for our freedoms by re-committing yourself and those around you to your recycling efforts at home, school and work.
