RECYCLING FUN FACTS

ALUMINUM CANS
Every three (3) months Americans landfill enough aluminum to
rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.
Recycling a single aluminum can
saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours !

GLASS BOTTLES
Making glass bottles from recycled material cuts related
water pollution by 50%.
Recycling one glass jar saves enough energy to light a
conventional 60-watt bulb for 4 hours and one 11-watt
CFL bulb for 20 hours !

PAPER
Americans throw away enough office paper
to build a 12-ft high wall of paper from New
York City to Seattle.

Making paper from recycled paper reduces
contributions to air pollution by 95% !
