Senators:

 

We all know how much the Government spends.  It's huge.  If recycling is going to continue to be viable economically, we need consistent strong demand for products made with the very materials we are keeping out of landfills by recycling.  Whatever it takes to encourage Sen. Jeffords' efforts, please let him know there is this huge need for continued and greater support by government to understand the importance to Buy-Recycled and to follow this thru with their procurement policies.  The recycling industry has grown tremendously this last decade and plays an ever-increasing role in our economy.  More than half of all American citizens now can recycle curbside.  More citizens recycle than vote. Ten's thousands of jobs have been created. But, we need the government to buy the very products made with recycled content to get business to further their designs and to tool up to meet the demands that only government's purchasing power can boost.

 

It's imperative that federal government lead where the people are wanting their government to go.  The people are doing their part.  The Government needs to do theirs.  Thank you for passing this message on to the people who need to hear it.

 

And, thank you for this opportunity,
