PROCLAMATION 8203--NOV. 15, 2007

Proclamation 8203 of November 15, 2007
America Recycles Day, 2007
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
As citizens of this great Nation, we have a responsibility to practice
good environmental stewardship. On America Recycles Day, we underscore
our commitment to conserving our resources by recycling.
Through curbside collections and drop-off facilities, we are turning
waste materials--including plastic, glass, aluminum cans, paper, tires,
batteries, and building materials--into valuable resources. Recycling is
one of our Nation's most successful environmental initiatives, and my
Administration is working to increase opportunities for our citizens,
communities, and businesses to recycle. The Resource Conservation
Challenge, created by the Environmental Protection Agency, encourages
public and private partnerships to promote recycling. Through Plug-In To
eCycling, we are helping reduce waste by providing consumers with
information on how and where they can donate or safely recycle old
electronics. Working together, we can conserve valuable resources and
energy by managing materials more efficiently.
On America Recycles Day and throughout the year, I encourage all
Americans to recycle appropriate materials and products. By recycling,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and conserving energy, we can help
build a healthier environment for everyone.
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, 2007, 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 seven, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
second.
GEORGE W. BUSH
