Rethinking recycling
The energy it takes
to recycle is nothing compared to the energy it saves.
If it seems like too much effort to recycle, consider this: most
people use 25,000 cans in their lifetime, and it take 95% less
energy to make aluminum cans from recycled material than it does
to produce them from scratch. In fact, when you trash a single
can, it’s like dumping 6 ounces of gasoline. Every can counts.
