For every ton of paper that is recycled, the following is saved: 7,000 gallons of water; 380 gallons of oil; and enough electricity to power an average house for six months.

You can run a TV for six hours on the amount of electricity that is saved by recycling one aluminum can!

By recycling just one glass bottle, you save enough electricity to power a 100-watt bulb for four hours.

For every ink cartridge that is recycled, 2.5 lbs. of petroleum products are kept out of our rivers and oceans.

Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with longer-lasting, energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs. Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) are four times more efficient and last up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. A 22-watt CFL has about the same light output as a 100-watt incandescent and CFL's use 50 - 80% less energy than incandescents. Not only will you help the environment, you will also save yourself time and money in the long-run.
