Why Recycle?

· Saves Natural Resources

· Saves Energy

· Saves Clean Air and Water

· Saves Landfill Space

· Saves Money and Creates Jobs

-Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough energy to power the average American home for five months.

-Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!

-Recycling one aluminum can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.

-A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill
