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.

What is called a "French kiss" in the English speaking world is known as an "English kiss" in France.

Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different!

Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs
has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.

Coca-Cola would be green if colouring weren’t added to it.

The placement of a donkey's eyes in its' heads enables it to see all four feet at all times!

Dolphins sleep with one eye open!

Queen Elizabeth I regarded herself as a paragon of cleanliness. She declared that she bathed once every three months, whether she needed it or not
