Enjoy counting beans? All over the state, people just like you are employed, pay taxes, spend money and invest in their communities thanks to recycling. The stuff you recycle means that 14,000 North Carolinians have a job and that means money for the economy, man. Money at home = good stuff for you, your friends and your family. Ready for deeper economics? Click here to see the true impact of N.C.'s recycling jobs. Still not convinced? How's this? All North Carolina's urban areas have gross air. It's a proven fact according to the American Lung Association's State of the Air Report. Gross air means climate change, asthma and red level alert days. Wanna know the #1 thing you can do to help curb climate change? Reduce, reuse, recycle. No joke. Recycling helps lower emissions of smog-forming gases. That's deep; but what it means is clean air, a cool planet and a nice trip to the beach. Really.
