Recycling Trivia
Americans consume 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour
If you drink 2 cans ofsoft drink per day in aluminum cans and cans are not recycled,you waste more energy than is used daily by one human in the lesser developed countries
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours
Recycling of all paper used in the Sunday edition of the New York Times would save 75,000 trees per year
