November 2011 Newsletter

Greetings!
Happy America Recycles Day! Hope you recycled at least one thing today: some paper, a bottle, a can, an old cell phone or even a pair of old sneakers. Find out WHAT, WHERE and HOW to recycle almost anything by using our Where to Recycle tool from 1800Recycling.com. Find more recycling tips and ideas in EcoTipz: Recycling. We celebrated America Recycles Day by running a one day sale on all our eco friendly products for our facebook and twitter followers. But since we didn't get this email out in time, we'll extend the sale until Friday just for you! Get 15% off your entire purchase with code ARD15 at checkout! Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving????? Well this is one holiday that can be enjoyed by all if we really use it to give thanks for all the good things in our lives. We have a tradition at my in-laws' house to go around the (very big) Thanksgiving table and have each person recite one thing for which he/she is truly thankful this year. Well those of you who know my personal situation know that mine is a no brainer, but even if you haven't been though a crisis recently, there is always something for which to give thanks. How about President Obama's delay of the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline decision? That was big! Have you thanked him yet? Or how about the growing Occupy movement? I mean, FINALLY a massive protest against big business! What took us so long? There are many things to feel grateful about in 2011, and I hope that you get some strength and peace from your reflections. Happy Thanksgiving. Best regards,
Gia Machlin
President and CEO
