SUBSTANTIAL WAYS THAT RECYCLING CAN HELP THE WORLD

95% OF THE WORLD'S DATA IS STORED ON PAPER

AND NEVER LOOKED AT AGAIN. THANKS TO DIGITAL

STORAGE, HOWEVER, LESS PAPER IS BEING WASTED

AND MORE TREES ARE BEING SAVED

RECYCLING ONE PLASTIC BOTTLE CAN CONSERVE

ENOUGH ENERGY TO POWER A 60 WATT

LIGHTBULB FOR OVER SIX HOURS

EVERY HOUR, AMERICANS THROW AWAY 2.5 MILLION

PLASTIC BOTTLES AND EACH BOTTLE TAKES 500 YEARS

TO DECOMPOSE

NEARLY ONE THIRD OF AN AVERAGE GARBAGE

DUMP IS PACKAGING MATERIAL THAT COULD

HAVE BEEN RECYCLED

THOUSANDS OF FISH AND OTHER MARINE ANIMALS

DIE BY ACCIDENTALLY INGESTING PLASTIC BAGS

THAT APPEAR TO BE JELLYFISH. THIS USUALLY

HAPPENS WHEN BAGS ARE THROWN OUT

RATHER THAN RECYCLED

IN ONE YEAR AMERICANS WILL THROW AWAY

ENOUGH PLASTIC CANS AND BOTTLES TO REACH

THE MOON AND BACK…20 TIMES

RECYCLING ONE TON OF PLASTIC CAN SAVE OVER

7,500 LITRES (2,000 GALLONS) OF GAS

RECYCLING ONE ALUMINIUM CAN WILL POWER A

TELEVISION FOR 2 HOURS
