June 16, 2010 - Centennial, Colorado -The United Recyclers Group has announced the launch of a new video "Using Auto Parts Saves Money On Repairs And Helps The Environment." The video is now available for viewing by the public at the URG website (www.u-r-g.com), and at YouTube.com (place hyperlink here). The educational video is being released to the public as part of an effort by URG to promote the use of recycled auto parts because they are affordable, green and are the choice of smart shoppers.
"11 million cars per year are scrapped each year in the United States," says Michelle Alexander, executive director of the United Recyclers Group. "URG wants to help the public see exactly what happens to the end-of-life vehicles, and how they are taken apart to salvage any reusable parts in order to keep America's cars on the road. We represent one of the nation's greenest industries, and it is important for consumers to understand the important service that the auto recycling industry provides our society."
Alexander also says that the video is also being provided to URG members as an additional benefit of membership. She says "We know that our members realize the need for ongoing education for the public about who we are and what we do. We will be distributing this video to all of our members on DVD and will encourage them to add this video to their company websites and Facebook pages."
What the five minute video does first is set the stage for the important role that automobiles play in our society. "American have a love affair with their cars, and not just new ones," says Alexander. "It has been estimated that there are nearly 260 million cars still in use in this country, nearly one for every man woman and child. Keeping this fleet on the road is an important responsibility for the nation's 6000 plus auto recyclers."
