Why Recycle?
• Each American creates about 4 pounds of garbage daily.
• 70% of all garbage can be recycled.• 100 million trees are cut down each year to
make paper for “junk” mail.• Every Sunday, 500,000 trees could be saved if
everyone recycled their newspapers.• Americans throw away enough plates & cups
to have the world a picnic 6 times a year.
• First, we put it in our trash can.• Then a truck picks it up from the street and
takes it away.• The truck takes the garbage to a place called a
landfill.
