Reuse, and Recycle.

Sure, the thought of recycling brings up the idea of dragging the recycle bin down to the end of the driveway, and out by the street, but never really feeling the results personally.  Still, so many places just like the Urban Ecology Center promotes recycling.  Just walking into the restrooms there are signs stating to only use one paper towel, to help save our world.  It seems like one small task such as that really doesn't help, but in truthfulness it really does, and there are other things that can be done as well.


SAVE OUR PLANET THROUGH RECYCLING


Fact:  Only one recycled aluminum can can save enough energy to power a television or a computer for three hours.


Fact:  Recycling a one foot high stack of newspapers can heat a home for a total of seventeen hours.


IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO
-Recycling doesn't only mean cans and paper, but energy as well.  There are many things that anyone can do to take part in it.


-Save energy! Unplug appliances that are not used often
-Simply set your computer to hibernate when it's not in use
-Put a jacket on! Lower your heat, and you will save a lot of energy use.
-don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room
-Separate bottles from garbage

Do your part, every bit does help.
