WHY RECYCLE?2. Recycling saves natural resources by reducing the need for more raw materials while making new products.
3. About 40% of the waste in the U.S. is paper, but nationwide we only recycle 25-30% of our paper waste.
4. Americans throw away the equivalent of 30 million trees a year, just in newsprint alone.
5. By recycling one aluminum can per day we can save enough energy to power a television for three hours.
6. A glass bottle thrown away today will still be here in the year 3000.
7. Close to 60 billion pounds of plastic is produced every year, and 25% of it is used for packaging food. Two million birds and 100,000 mammals are killed every year due to discarded plastic.
8. The recycling process creates far more jobs than landfills, and recycling can be the least expensive waste management method for most cities.
