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!
