FYI-- The Green Files:
70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials.
Incinerating 10,000 tonnes of waste creates one job, land-filling the same amount of waste creates six jobs but recycling this much waste creates 36 jobs.
Product packaging accounts for 1/3 of our trash.
Once an aluminium can is recycled it can be part of new can within six weeks.
Approximately 60% of the water used by households during the summer is used for watering flowers and lawns.
