Green Thursday at State Fair

Seventy-two bottled-shaped bins for plastic bottles and aluminum cans are scattered throughout the fair grounds, making it easy to recycle at Wisconsin State Fair.

Over 2 tons of cans and bottles will be kept out of landfills because of the big bottle bins.

Not only is recycling a good environmental choice, but in Wisconsin it helps our economy grow, providing thousands of jobs and conserving valuable oil. Recycling one ton of plastic can save 16 barrels of oil.

Wisconsin State Fair also recycled nearly 26 tons of cardboard

And how about animal poop? Every year the fair collects 3,000 cubic yards of manure and bedding from the livestock exhibition that get's spread on approved fields.

Alice in Dairyland is also in on the 'Green' plan. She drives a Chevy Flex Fuel Tahoe, manufactured in Janesville. It can run on E85 Ethanol.

Every Green Thursday, LipsYard will deal with an issue vital to our global environment.
