All across the state, we did our best to recycle aluminum, glass, paper, plastic and steel — at home and at work. However, our recycling efforts are only beginning. Pennsylvania faces a new challenge: to recycle 35% of all municipal waste by 2003. It’s ambitious, but we can do it by expanding our recycling programs, and buying goods that contain recycled content or are packaged in recyclable materials. Look for symbols that identify recycled materials, and purchase those products the next time you shop. If we all participate, Pennsylvania's recycling goal is within reach. We're counting on you to help close the “recycling loop.” To learn more about recycling, call 1-800-346-4242, or visit the DEP website at www.dep.state.pa.us Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge, Governor Department of Environmental Protection James M.
