While awaiting the arrival of batches of wounded, he would watch the men at work in the burial plots which were quickly filling up. Then McCrae and his unit were relieved. "We are weary in body and wearier in mind. The general , impression in my mind is one of a nightmare," he wrote home. But McCrae came out of Ypres with 13 lines scrawled on a scrap of paper. The lines were the poem which started: "In Flanders field the poppies blow..."

In the United States, the poem inspired inspired the American Legion to adopt the poppy as the symbol of Remembrance. In Canada the poppy was officially officially adopted by the Great War Veterans Association in 1921 on the suggestion of a Mrs. E. Guerin of France.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies > grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae USE, RECYCLE." Recycling Week is fast approaching, approaching, but we can begin now to determine what we can do to reduce waste.
