If you need help in arranging the trip, or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.http:/byways. org The National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes，such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history （such as Route 6）or man-made attractions （the Las Vegas Strip）. For each，you are provided with a map，told the routes length and how long is allowed，and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs. www.oyster.com This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts.

But a New Jersey based company，called TerraCycle，has taken on the challenge，and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse. Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking，but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging，between 2000 and 2014，global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent，and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water, TerraCycle founder，Tom Szaky，said. Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food. So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials，such as the tobacco and the paper，with other kinds of rubbish，and use it on non-agricultural land，such as golf courses. The filters(过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these，TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces，and then combines them with other recycled materials，making them into liquid for industrial plastic products. Theyre now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently cant be recycled，such as chocolate packaging，pens，and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill(垃圾填埋)，and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far，its working. We havent found anything that we cant recycle，communications director of TerraCycle，Albe Zakes，said. But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in
