<\/a><\/p>\n Did you know that tomorrow, November 15, is America Recycles Day<\/a>? \u00a0That’s OK if you didn’t – this one hasn’t quite reached the status of Earth Day<\/a>. But it could, as most of us almost automatically associate “environmental action” with “recycling<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Is that a good thing? No doubt it’s good to make use of resources that still have life in them, but, as we’ve pointed out numerous times before, “reduce, reuse, recycle” is a hierarchy… and yet most of us don’t give nearly enough attention to the first two Rs. As such, we still buy an awful lot of single-use containers, resting assured that its OK because we can toss them in that blue bin.<\/p>\n What are the costs and benefits of our focus on recycling? We’ll be discussing just that in the first edition of Hangin’ with sustainablog<\/a>, our new weekly Hangout on Air at Google+ (and a replacement for Important Ideas). If you’ve got thoughts about recycling – whatever they may be – join us tomorrow (November 15) at 3pm Central to discuss.<\/p>\n Image credit: <\/strong>scott*eric<\/a> via photopin<\/a> cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that tomorrow, November 15, is America Recycles Day?
