When you buy recycled content and other environmentally friendly products, you help reduce waste by creating a market for our recycled materials. You also help create jobs in businesses that handle and use recycle materials. Purchasing green products is like casting a vote. Requesting more sustainable products in the market place tells manufactures that consumers care about the way products are made. Many people become good environmental stewards through recycling efforts, and have joined the campaign by participating at home and at work. But, to complete the full circle, you have to start purchasing products that are made of the materials we recycle.
