EPA Celebrates America Recycles Day and the 750,000 Jobs Supported by Recycling

Today, in honor of America Recycles Day, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is releasing significant findings on the economic benefits of the recycling industry with an update to the national Recycling Economic Information (REI) Study. This study analyzes the numbers of jobs, wages and tax revenues attributed to recycling.

Recycling is a key element of Sustainable Materials Management (SMM), a systemic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire life cycles. SMM represents a global shift in the use of natural resources and environmental protection. Americaâ€™s recycling and reuse activities accounted for 757,000 jobs, produced $36.6 billion in wages and generated $6.7 billion in tax revenues in 2007, based on the most recent census data. This equates to 1.57 jobs for every 1,000 tons of materials recycled. For this update, the Agency used a revised waste input-output methodology that focuses on the life cycle of materials, and defining recycling.

â€œRecycling is not only an asset to our environmental and social goals, but a boost to our economy,â€ said Mathy Stanislaus, Assistant Administrator to the Office of Land and Emergency Management. â€œAmericaâ€™s great strides toward prioritizing recycling are evident. Weâ€™ve educated our communities, citizens and businesses to recycle more, quadrupling our recycling rate since 1976 and creating a more sustainable world.â€

The national recycling rate has more than quadrupled from 7 to 34 percent since 1976, and the slogan Reduce, Reuse, Recycle has become a well-used phrase in American life. Recycling bins are now common in our homes, schools and work places; restaurants are composting their food waste and businesses are working with communities to offer consumers reuse and recycling opportunities. As we continue to reduce, reuse and recycle, we are evolving our resource conservation efforts to use materials in the most productive way, with an emphasis on using less and advancing a circular economy. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development predicts that global demand for materials will increase by more than 35 percent over the next 15 years, reaching 100 billion metric tons per year. One half to three quarters of annual raw material inputs to industrial economies are returned as waste to the environment within a year.

Americans can continue to lift the national economy by recognizing the value of materials and improving their recycling practices. In honor of todayâ€™s celebration, President Obama signed a proclamation to celebrate how far our nation has come and to urge all Americans to continue finding new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. This America Recycles Day, EPA encourages everyone make a difference for the environment and incorporate more recycling into their daily routines. EPA is launching the Materials Management Wizard to make it easier for individuals and organizations to find EPA sustainability tools and resources:Â https://www.epa.gov/sustainability/mwiz.

The Agency provides a variety of resources to help citizens and businesses get involved:

Residents Cautioned about Thefts from Vehicles

11/16/2016

The Vanderburgh County Sheriffâ€™s Office would like to make residents aware of a crime trend that our Criminal Investigations Section has been tracking since the beginning of November.

Seven (7) vehicle entries have been recently reported to the Sheriff’s Office, all of which occurred overnight in the Keystone, Windemere Farms, Camden Farms and Wynnfield subdivisions. Residential areas, especially subdivisions, are frequent targets due to the high concentration of parked vehicles and the lack of traffic during the late night and early morning hours.

Locked cars are almost always bypassed by thieves, who tend to favor the quick access afforded by an unlocked door. Breaking a window makes noise and defeating a lock takes time, both are factors which increase the chance a thief will be observed. Once a thief is inside a vehicle, spare change and easily carried items such as electronics, prescription medication and cell phones are most commonly taken.

The Sheriffâ€™s Office offers these tips to minimize the risk of becoming a victim of such a theft:

Unsecure firearms, medication, credit cards and money should never be kept in the vehicle when not occupied.
Avoid leaving valuables inside a vehicle, but if necessary secure these items in a locked glove box or trunk.
Never leave your car unlocked, not even in your driveway.
Park in a well lit area or under a motion activated light.
If you park outside, do not store a garage door opener in your vehicle. If your vehicle is broken into, the thief now has access to your garage and house.

Many people do not report these types of thefts believing that nothing can be done. The Sheriffâ€™s Office strongly encourages anyone who is the victim of a crime to report it. If you believe your vehicle has been entered and items taken please do not touch anything on or inside the car. If you locate items from your vehicle somewhere else such as on the ground, again refrain from touching them. Call 911 and the responding deputies can assess the possibility of recovering evidence.

Persons with information regarding these thefts are asked to contact the Sheriffâ€™s Office at (812) 421-6339 or go online to the Sheriffâ€™s Office website at www.vanderburghsheriff.comwhere a tip may be left anonymously.
