- Every year, we make enough plastic film to shrink-wrap Texas.
- Recycling one ton of office paper can save 7,000 gallons of
water.
- By recycling cardboard, we can save 25 percent of the energy
used to make that cardboard.
- Americans throw away 44 million newspapers every day. That's
the same as dumping 500,000 trees into landfills each week.
- If we recycle just half of the magazines printed in the U.S. each
year, we'd save 12 million cubic yards of landfill space.
- Glass never wears out - it can be recycled over and over and
over again, forever.
- If every household reused a paper grocery bag for one
shopping trip, we'd save about 60,000 trees.
- Every three months, Americans throw away enough aluminum
to rebuild the entire U.S. Commercial air
fleets.
