Interesting Facts Recycling= When people reuse

paper, aluminum, and glass

Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a T.V for three hours

350,000 aluminum cans are produced every minute

At one time aluminum was more valuable than gold

Every month Americans throw out enough recyclable glass jars and bottles to fill a skyscraper

Lesson LearnedI learned that in one month a recycled

aluminum can could be back on the shelf as

a new one. Also that every ton of recycled

paper can save 17 trees 7,000 gallons of

water and 4,000 kilowatts of electricity.

Paper products make up the largest part of

our trash(40 percent). Every day businesses

make enough paper to circle the earth 20

times. Every Sunday Americans waste 90

percent of recycled paper this wastes

500,000 trees.

Spreading the Word

I will spread the word by…

1.Make a commercial saying to

recycle

2.Hand out colorful flyers and posters

to recycle(@ walmart)

3.Organize a program for little kids to

play games that involve recycling

PledgeI pledge to: stop putting newspapers into the garbage every Sunday. I will encourage my friends to recycle. Then I can do crafts from the newspaper instead of making ones with a lot of trash left over.

Recycle every day!!
