Trash Talk

 The engergy used to produce aluminium is 'trapped' in the metal. Re-melting aluminium to return it to 'new' metal takes only 5% of the original energy required. Used and recycled aluminum makes up a large percentage of 'new' metal. Now take off your tinfoil hat and take action against climate change!

Instead of throwing out paper, recycle it instead. Deforestation is the source of around 15% of carbon emissions.

The average time it takes for a plastic bottle to completely degrade is at the least 450 years. Instead of throwing them away, you can reuse them in many different ways including storing a different material in them.

As you and I recycle and divert materials away from the waste disposal systems like the landfills and incinerators, we also helping to reduce pollution arising from these waste disposal methods, as well as reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are released in the process

Even when disposed of properly, plastic bags can still pose a threat to the environment. It contains many toxins including dioxin which can leak from landfills and contaminate water sources.
