THREE R'S OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Recycle - To make used items useful again
Instead of throwing things away, let them be made into something else!
• Recycle paper, plastic, cans, glass Recycle instead of throwing them in trash
• Buy recycled products Recycling Facts • Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees and 7,000
gallons of water • Recycling one aluminum can saves enough electricity to
run a TV for 3 hours • Recycling one glass bottle or jar saves
enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours Recycling one ton of plastic saves the equivalent of 1,000-2,000 gallons of gasoline More than 30 million trees are cut down to produce a year's supply of newspapers
