Memorial Day Sale. We HONOR You!
This Memorial Day Weekend we want to HONOR all of those that have made our freedom possible. If not for them, our opportunities to go after our dreams would be limited. We want to THANK all who have served and are serving our Country. (Don’t forget to read below for your Memorial Day Discount)
Some fun facts for your Memorial Day Weekend…
You might find yourself blurting out some of this “trashy” trivia on your Memorial Day Cookout this weekend.
Did you know…
That the average American throws away almost 5 pounds of trash a DAY.
Every day in the U.S., we throw away enough garbage to fill around
63,000 garbage trucks… a DAY! At least 1/3 of that is from the snazzy packaging we discard.
Can you guess…
What is New York’s number one export? Waste paper. Who knew!
Can you guess…
What is made from recycled glass?
Hint… try bottles, fiber glass insulation, and materials used in
building roads and construction.
Did you know…
It takes on average 6 weeks for an aluminum can to be remelted and put back on those store shelves? And it saves 90-95% less energy to produce an aluminum can if it’s being recycled than it would to create new ones.
That is fairly impressive.
“One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Unless you’re a raccoon. Then it’s basically all one category.” – Author Unknown
