<br />City of Centerville <br /> <br />voluntary recycling programs. They wouldn't recycle if it didn't make <br />sense. <br /> <br />FIGHT FOR JOBS! Five times as many people are employed in recycling <br />than in waste disposal. <br /> <br />STOP CLIMATE CHANGE! Recyling reduces greenhouse gas emissions. <br /> <br />SA VE OUR LAKES! Recyling reduces air and water polution. <br /> <br />SAVE ELECTRICITY! In 2003, recycling in Minnesota saved enough <br />electricity to power 30% of the state's households. It takes 20 times the <br />energy to make an aluminum can from mined materials as it does to make <br />one from a recycled can. <br /> <br />SAVE THE LAND! Each person in Minnesota creates about 2,000 pounds <br />of garbage every year. A lot of this still goes into landfills. The more <br />materials you recycle, the less land we will need to bury our trash. <br /> <br />SAVE OUR TREES! The average American saves about 3 trees and over <br />1,000 gallons of water each year by recycling paper. You can save even <br />more trees by recycling your junk mail and office paper. Every ton of <br />newsprint or mixed paper recycled saves the equivalent of cutting down 24 <br />trees to make paper. Recycling prevents habitat destruction, loss of <br />biodiversity, and soil erosion associated with logging and mining. <br />Americans consume more natural resources per person than any other <br />country in the world. <br /> <br />AWAY FROM HOME? Look for recycling. Before you throwaway that bottle, <br />can, or junk mai', check for a recyling bin. Ask for recycling. If you don't see <br />recycling, talk with managers of local stores and events. <br /> <br />Did you know? <br /> <br />. The Metrodome recycled over 1 million plastic bottles since it started <br />collecting in 2003. <br />· Did you know that you can recycle glass and aluminum at the Mall of <br />America? The Mall also collects food scraps from restaurants and sends <br />it to a farm as pig feed! <br />· WE Fest, the country music festival in Detroit Lakes, recycles aluminum <br />cans from festival goers. Vendors also recycle glass and cardboard. <br />· The Moon Dance Jam Festival in Walker recycles cans and bottles in its <br />events and camping areas. Steel and cardboard are also recycled. <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Minnesota Office of Environmental <br />Assistance at: www.moea.state.mn.us. <br /> <br />How To Reduce Junk Mail <br /> <br />Do you want to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive, and conserve natural <br />resources in the process? Here are some ways for you to do it now! <br /> <br />Register your name and address with the Mail Preference Service of the Direct <br />Marketing Association at www.dmacons\.IDlers.org or PO Box 643, Carmel, NY <br />10512-0643. This is a free service and lasts 5 years. <br /> <br />Page 3 of4 <br /> <br />county Twin Cities <br />metro area unless a <br />current soil test shows <br />a need for phosphorus <br />or you are establishing <br />a new lawn by seeding <br />or laying sod. <br /> <br />Click here to learn <br />more and how to <br />handling any <br />existing fertilizer that <br />you may have that <br />contains <br />phosphorus. <br /> <br />Get the Lead Outl <br /> <br />Non-lead fishing tackle <br />is an affective <br />alternative, and it <br />protects loons, eagles <br />and other wildlife. <br />TACKLING THE <br />PROBLEM: Lead is a <br />toxic metal that, in <br />sufficient quantities, <br />has adverse effects on <br />the nervous and <br />reproductive systems <br />of animals. Found in <br />most fishing jigs and <br />sinkers, this metal is <br />poisoning wildlife such <br />as loons and eagles. <br /> <br />More anglers are <br />using fishing tackle <br />made from non- <br />poisonous materials, <br />such as tin, bismuth, <br />steel, and tungsten. <br />And these alternatives <br />are becoming easier to <br />find.
