With the high cost of energy EVERYONE should be recycling. Recycling even a little bit, by everyone makes a HUGE difference.
For example, if you just recycle your old newspapers.
For EVERY TON of Paper recycled,
it saves 17 trees from being cut down
3.3 YARDS of Landfill space
7100 GALLONS of WATER
4100 KILOWATTS of ELECTRICITY
Of course many place still burn OIL & GAS to generate Electricity so it will also cut down on Fossil Fuel demand and lower Greenhouse gasses.
All this from just one ton of paper recycling.
So please tell your friends, tell your community.
RECYCLE and HELP SAVE THE PLANET!
