Rethinking recycling
The energy it takes
to recycle is nothing compared to the energy it saves.
If
it seems like too much effort to recycle, consider this:
manufacturing new plastic consumes 8% of the world’s oil
production. And recycling a single plastic bottle conserves
enough energy to run a 60 watt light bulb for 6 hours or power a
television long enough to see your favorite show. Every bottle
counts. Recycle more.
