- Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil.
- Energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will operate a TV set for 3 hours, and is the equivalent to half a can of gasoline.
- Americans use 50 million tons of paper annually -- consuming more than 850 million trees.
- The incandescent light bulbs in our homes are 5% efficient? That means that 95% percent of the power you pay for to light your home is wasted!
- One ton of carbon dioxide that is released in the air can be prevented by replacing every 75 watt light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs.
- If just 25% of U.S. families used 10 fewer plastic bags a month, we would save over 2.5 BILLION bags a year.
