🌍 Happy National Recycling Day! ♻
Today is not just about recycling, it's about taking responsibility for our planet. Let's commit to learning proper recycling practices together.

Not only does recycling conserve natural resources, reduce pollution and greenhouse gases, and save energy, but it also protects our animal friends by preserving their habitats from pollution and reducing risks of entanglement or ingestion.

Together, we can make a difference! 🌟

*Recycling graphic from janegoodall.org* Jane Goodall was a very well known primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist.
