U.S Stats!
Hello viewers, I just found out some updated US statistics that I want to share with you. And since I like saving the good for the last, I am going to tell you the bad news first.
The Bad:
-900 Million trees are cut every year to make paper!
-There is enough waste in the US to fill 1,600 New Orleans Super-domes!
-One third of the waste is from packing materials.
The Good:
-Approximately 1,450 aluminium cans are recycled every second! (Can you believe it?)
-A recycled aluminium can takes 80% less energy to make rather than a new can.
-Recycling about 1 ton of cardboard saves over 9 cubic yards of land space.
-Producing recycled paper uses 75% less energy, 70% less air pollution, and 35% less water pollution than making new sheets of paper. And lets not forget the trees we are saving too!

Incredible India!!!
See this picture? This picture was taken in a place in India called Kanyakumari. Kanyakumari is the very most southern tip of India. See how beautiful it is? It is ow plastic-free as plastic bags are banned from stores over there. People have to bring their own bags or the products are wrapped in newspapers or recycled paper bags. Such a small community made this place so clean! More tha half of the items, products, and produces in Kayakumari are organic, so they are very eco-friendly. Here is another thing that is off topic but I really get annoyed by this: People who think India is a bug infested hot wasteland, open your eyes! There is so much more to India than what people tell you or what you read. India is incredible, it's inexplainable! The Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, even a small town like Kanyakumari, are all places you have to see to believe it.
