The West Virginia Oil Marketers & Grocers Association, representing convenience stores, independent groceries and petroleum marketers across the state, are working to do their part to recycle and conserve resources. This includes recycling the cardboard and plastic packaging that much of the products you see on your local store shelves are shipped in, to recycling and conserving the water used in the car washes at your local convenience store.
Tuesday, Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day across the country. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States. While we recognize that it takes some effort and dedication, we encourage everyone to explore ways to recycle and conserve resources in their daily lives.
For more information on recycling and conservation strategies, I encourage you to visitwww.americarecyclesday.org. While on the site, consider signing a pledge to learn about recycling opportunities in your community as well as committing to recycling one new type of material.
We can all help create a cleaner environment in our communities and throughout the country.
