Ever ask a beverage container why you should recycle? This would be the site to visit. Ask around and you're not likely to find a single bottle or can that doesn't believe in recycling. They're all for it. And you should be, too. Why? Because if we didn't recycle, we'd have a state covered with empty beverage containers. Literally. Just consider this trashy fact: Since 1987, Californians have given new life to more than 120 billion cans and bottles by recycling. That's enough containers to circle the earth more than 375 times.
