I suddenly realised that if I recycle 1 ton of plastic, it means that 2 people can live ‘free of carbon cost’ for one whole year i.e. I can save on a couple’s annual energy usage and carbon footprint.

Incidentally, that’s almost 2000 pounds of oil saved.

And the next time you open the garbage bin to toss away something, take a hard look at it – more than half of what you throw away can be recycled or re-used. This includes packaging – simple wrapping paper, covers, lids, etc.
