Through ARD, KAB increases awareness and encourages people to pledge to recycle. This is more than a consciousness raising exercise through consorted national action this event makes a meaningful difference. In addition to pledges, more than 2 million people participated in events across the country in 2012. Through these activities a total of 3.7 million pounds of recyclables were collected which is equivalent to eliminating the emissions of 280 cars. The day of action is meant as a springboard that incorporates recycling into out daily lives.
