                Proclamation 8319 of November 14, 2008

                
America Recycles Day, 2008

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On America Recycles Day, we highlight the importance of 
                recycling as a way to safeguard and protect the 
                environment and preserve our precious natural 
                resources.

                We live in a country of splendor and beauty, and no 
                matter which State each of us calls home, we all have a 
                responsibility to practice good environmental 
                stewardship. It is in our Nation's best interest that 
                government, businesses, community organizations, and 
                individuals work together to conserve our natural 
                resources. The Environmental Protection Agency, through 
                its Resource Conservation Challenge, is encouraging 
                communities to increase recycling collection. Through 
                the Plug-In To eCycling Campaign, we are working to 
                make it easier for Americans to donate or safely 
                recycle old electronics, including TVs, computers, and 
                cell phones. By recycling we can strengthen local 
                economies, reduce greenhouse gases, conserve natural 
                resources, and save landfill space. Using our resources 
                wisely, we can make our communities more livable and 
                our world a cleaner place for our children and 
                grandchildren.

                On this day, we remember our opportunity to preserve 
                the great American landscape through recycling. By 
                continuing to work together, we can maintain and enjoy 
                the beauty of our land for generations to come.

                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, 2008, as 
                America Recycles Day. I call upon the people of the 
                United States to observe this day with appropriate 
                programs and activities.
