Earth Angel

Recycling can make a difference in the environment. "If you are thinking about different reasons why it's important to recycle, just go for it," according to the Hot Springs Solid Waste Department.

"One reason is that in the long run, it can actually help to save money, but more importantly, it is great for the environment."
