10 Earth Day Tips!
- If we all switched from bleached plastic-packaged toilet paper made from new wood to 100% recycled, we would save 10 million trees each year.
- 50 percent of the plastic we use, we use just once and throw away.
- Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times.
- We currently recover only five percent of the plastics we produce.
- As much as 95% of clothes thrown away could have been re-worn or recycled.
- By simply recycling one aluminum can, you are saving enough energy to watch a TV for three hours. Recycling one glass bottle is enough to light a traditional light bulb for four hours.
- We use more than 80 billion aluminum soda cans every year. It takes 90 percent less energy to recycle aluminum cans than to make new ones.
- Recycling every newspaper would save about 250 million trees each year.
- Check out your bathroom. Use low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets. When brushing your teeth and washing your face, turn off the faucet in between.
- Use reusable wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets.
