EARTH DAY IS OVER: But the planet’s still trashed. If you’re at all committed to protecting the environment and preserving natural resources on the other 364 days of the year, you might want to learn a thing or two about the Alabama Environmental Council. Founded in 1967, the AEC works to create environmental awareness by promoting wise management of natural resources. And they recycle — 600 tons of newspaper, glass, plastic, aluminum, mixed paper and cardboard every year at the oldest nonprofit recycling center in the state. Located at 2431 Second Ave North, the AEC recycling center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and accepts old cell phones and printer cartridges, as well as all of the recyclable materials mentioned above.
