America Recycles Day: Why Don’t We Celebrate It Too?

Did you know?

America celebrates a Recycling Day every year, and this year it’s on 15 November. So, why don’t we celebrate it too?

Small actions can make a big difference! I’m joining fellow children’s book eco-authors Andrea Harrison, Leslee Flanagan and Peni Clark for this campaign, sharing stories and ideas that encourage families and young readers to care for our planet.

America Recycles Day is an opportunity to think about reducing waste, reusing materials and recycling thoughtfully. Wherever we live, we can join in by making small changes at home and checking what our own local council accepts for recycling.

Through our stories, we explore caring for the Earth, kindness, courage, compassion and teamwork. As we look towards 15 November, we’ll be sharing environmental facts, practical ideas and book highlights to help children see how their choices can make a difference.

Let’s start the conversation: what’s one small change your family has made to reduce waste or reuse everyday items?
