LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION memorializing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to
proclaim November 15, 2011, as America Recycles Day in the State of New
York

WHEREAS. It is the sense of this Legislative Body to set aside days in
the State of New York which recognize the importance of practicing sound
environmental procedures, protecting our precious resources, and
preserving our natural environment; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to memorial-
ize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim November 15, 2011, as America
Recycles Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with National
America Recycles Day; and
WHEREAS, Since 1997, communities across the country have come together
on November 15 to celebrate America Recycles Day; and
WHEREAS, More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only
nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling
programs in the United States; and
WHEREAS, America Recycles Day serves as a day to inform and educate
the community about the importance of recycling;
WHEREAS, This day also draws together neighbors, friends and community
leaders in an effort to get them excited about what can be accomplished
when we all work together; and
WHEREAS, The State of New York, in concert with the national and
global community, should not only set goals to recycle, but also set
goals on how to achieve the reuse of components of seemingly obsolete
objects; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim November 15, 2011, as
America Recycles Day in the State of New York; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New
York.
