                Proclamation 7846 of November 15, 2004

                
America Recycles Day, 2004

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation is dedicated to good stewardship of our 
                natural resources. On America Recycles Day, we reaffirm 
                our commitment to preserving our resources and 
                recycling.

                Our country produces more than 200 million tons of 
                municipal solid waste--approximately 4 pounds of waste 
                per person per day. As more garbage is generated, the 
                demands on our landfills, natural resources, and 
                environment continue to grow. Recycling helps conserve 
                energy and natural resources, provides raw materials 
                for key domestic industries, reduces air and water 
                pollution, cuts greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes 
                the development of cleaner technologies. Recycling and 
                composting diverts millions of tons of material away 
                from landfills and incinerators. Through curbside 
                collection and recyclable drop-off centers, communities 
                across our Nation are demonstrating their commitment to 
                protecting our environment and to building a better 
                future for our next generation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United 
                States, do hereby proclaim November 15, 2004, as 
                America Recycles Day. I call upon the people of the 
                United States to observe this day with appropriate 
                programs and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand four, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
