Recycle: Facts

2007-11-12T08:07:00.000-08:00

♥ Each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4,000 kilowatts of energy and 7,000 gallons of water!

♥ Making recycled paper instead of new paper uses 64 percent less energy and uses 58 percent less water.

♥ Every Sunday, Americans waste 90 percent of recyclable newspapers. This wastes 500,000 trees!

♥ Only 1 percent of the world's water supply is usable; 97 percent is in the ocean and 2 percent is frozen.

♥ Every year more than 900 million trees are cut down to provide raw materials for American paper and pulp mills.

♥ Every day American businesses generate enough paper to circle the earth 20 times !

♥ There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.

♥ The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.

♥ Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!

♥ A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill.

♥ Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute!
