- Each year, we throw out enough soda cans and bottles to reach the moon and back 20 times.
- 14 billion pounds of garbage are dumped into the ocean every year. Most of it is plastic.
- We generate 21.5 million tons of food waste each year. If we composted that food, it would reduce the same amount of greenhouse gas as taking 2 million cars off the road.
- 27,000 trees are felled each day to manufacture toilet paper.
- Recycling one ton of paper saves 682.5 gallons of oil, 7,000 gallons of water and 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.
If this doesn't get you to consciously think about our environment, and start acting towards saving it, I don't know what will.
Save Earth.... Reuse! Reduce!! Recycle!!!
