resolution2 which was considered and

,november #ae1 #bjai1 as ,america       
,recycles ,day and expressing the sense 
of the ,senate that recycling promotes a

environmental stewardship4  ,whereas    
recycling is among the top actions that

of the ,united ,states2 ,whereas1       
according to the ,environmental         
,protection ,agency1 in the ,united     
,states1 only #ba4d percent of          
recyclable waste is recycled2 ,whereas1 
in the ,united ,states1 recycling is an 
industry valued at approximately        
#bjj1jjj1jjj1jjj2 ,whereas diverting #ge
 percent of waste in the ,united ,states
 from landfilling and incineration to   

recycling by #bjcj would result in the  
creation of approximately #b1cjj1jjj    
recycling jobs1 nearly #b times the     
number of recycling jobs that existed in
 the ,united ,states in #bjjh2 ,whereas 
the #bjaf ,recycling ,economic          
,information ,report by the             
,environmental ,protection ,agency      
found1 using #bjjg as a base year1 that 
recycling and reuse activities--  7#a7  
accounted for approximately #geg1jjj    
jobs1 #j4eb percent of all jobs in the  
,united ,states2  7#b7 produced         
approximately #cf1fjj1jjj1jjj in wages1

approximately #f1gjj1jjj1jjj in tax     
revenue1 #j4ij percent of total tax     
revenue in the ,united ,states2         
,whereas recycling conserves natural    
resources and fresh water2 ,whereas     
recycling prevents waste and discarded  
materials from ending up in oceans and  
waterways and harming water and         
wildlife2 ,whereas1 in #bjae1           

approximately #fg1hjj1jjj tons of       
municipal solid waste were recycled1 in 
contrast with #acg1gjj1jjj tons of      
municipal solid waste that were         
landfilled2 and ,whereas1 with respect  
to the #fg1hjj1jjj tons of municipal    
solid waste that were recycled1 paper   
and paperboard accounted for #fg        
percent1 metals accounted for #ab       
percent1 and glass1 plastic1 and wood

 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that the
