Here are some things you probably didn't know:
~If everyone recycled 5 soft drink bottles (PET plastic bottles), over five thousand pounds of plastic would be recycled each day.
~Each day Americans throw out enough metal and aluminum to rebuild the US air fleet two times.
~America produces half a trillion pounds of recyclable garbage a year and ships it to China and elsewhere for disposal.
~Hawaii has no disposable system; they dump their garbage in a landfill off the coast of Maui.
~Every day, Americans use enough energy to power the whole world for a month with everything on nonstop.
Kinda scary to think about, you know? Hope you like this, Bob Zenith.
