<br />RECYCLING MATTERS!
<br />Recycling Supports Local Jobs & The Economy-The recycling industry creates
<br />over 19,000 jobs in Minnesota. It also generates an estimated $3.48 billion in eco-
<br />nomicactivity.
<br />Recycling Protects The Environment-Recycling conserves water and other raw
<br />materials, which will leave more natural resources for future generations.
<br />What Goes In The Recycling Bin Gets Recycled-Minnesota companies, like
<br />Rock-Tenn paper mill in St. Paul and Anchor Glass in Shakopee, use our recycla-
<br />bles asraw materials to make new products.
<br />Reduces Taxes-Recycling generates $64 million in Minnesota tax revenue every
<br />year.
<br />Rethink Recycling. It matters now more than ever!

<br />RECYCLING_
<br />WAYS TO SAVE
<br />Hang out your wash to dry; it saves gas and electricity. Lifting, bending, climbing
<br />steps-maybe you'll save on a gym membership and gas to get there.
<br />Dress for the season. Layer clothes in the winter, peel them off in summer. Doing
<br />so will allow you to turn the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer.
<br />Control sunshine. Open shades in the winterand close them in the summer.
<br />Turn down the water heater (120 to 125 degrees is hot enough),
<br />Fix dripping faucets. '~~~~~'
<br />Forget the dry cycle on the dishwasher. ~~~? , ~~
<br />Plug electronics into a strip and turn the strip off when not in
<br />use. ~~
<br />Use the microwave oven more than the conventional oven. '~~ sr.~~ ~~ ~'
<br />Re-use your grocery bags. Better yet, get a re-usable cloth bag. }~'
<br />Make yourown cleaning solution. See below:
<br />Alice's Wonder Spray
<br />This cleanerwill kill 82 percent of molds and 99 percent of bacteria in a household,
<br />according to Ami Uoeltz of Do It Green Minnesota. It costs only 14 cents, whereas
<br />a store-bought cleaner runs $4 to $20 a bottle. Making your own is kinder to the
<br />environment, and you save packaging by using your own reusable bottle.
<br />Cup White Vinegar 20 drops essential oil
<br />2 tsp. Borax (Optional for scent)
<br />32 oz. (4 Cups) Hot Water 1/4 Cup Liquid Dish Soap
<br />day. Directions: Combine vinegar and borax with 32 ounces hot water. Add an essen-
<br />tialoil (if desired, for fragrance) and dish soap. Place in a spray bottle and be sure
