America Recycles Day is technically November 15th every year, but the Urbana Park District, along with U-Cycle and The Idea Store, is doing their celebration the following day from 1 to 4 p.m. at Anita Purves Nature Center. From their event description:
Join us to explore old and new ways to recycle household waste. Just how far have we come in 40 years of recycling? Learn tried-and-true recycling methods and what has changed.
Make your own creation from reused or re-purposed materials at home before the event, and enter to win an award in the 5th annual Creative Reuse Competition.
From 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., they will be doing a Pulp to Paper activity, where you can use recycled fibers to create your own paper.
