Did You Know?
More than 20 million Hershey's Kisses are wrapped each day using 133 square miles of aluminum foil. Believe it or not, ALL that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it so most of it goes to trash. When will you start recycling? The answer is now, not tomorrow. Remember – from water to land, Earth needs a helping hand.
