The Single Most Important Thing to Recycle

Guess which electronic piece of equipment you can run for three hours
because of the energy savings of recycling just one aluminum can?
Answer: A computer or a television set!
Aluminum is the most abundant metal on Earth. It takes 95 percent less energy to make a new aluminum can from recycled aluminum cans.
The aluminum can you recycle today will be back as a new aluminum can in 60-90 days.

I just can believe what Daniel said. We should do anything in order to save this planet. There are some natural coconut water coming from an aluminum can and there are others, check at your nearest health food. So please can you all can join for the good health of our planet. Thanks for us and for our future generationts.

Why should I care about recycling aluminum cans? The only drinks available in them are nasty, unhealthy soft drinks loaded with unnatural chemicals and high-fructose corn syrup, the #1 reason Americans are so obese these days.

also what about Snap cleaning products from marketamerica.com, they have been green since way before it was thought about as much as it is now a days. highly concentrated, biodegradable, all natural... and they work great!

I agree that Aluminum is the single most important thing to recycle. Plastic can often cost more then it's worth - it's best to just avoid buying plastic in the first place.

This is a good thing. I always drive down to the grocery store with a bag of all my cans. You know, you can even put them in a refund machine and you get a 5 cent refund. The can still gets recycled, but you make a little more money. And, if you say making money from recycling is a bad thing......... I won't even go into that. This post is really great. It will help Americans recycle and put more money in the economy. My question to you is, Why Not?

Hi Lisa: Well, I have used Shaklee for 26 years but just go here: GoShaklee.ca and use my password RE20020 and reply there! Window cleaning solution for 1 penny per gallon and only ONE empty bottle for 2 years of cleaning. Organic? Oh yes it is-the BAsic H is made from corn and coconuts. And yes we do have on line a chemical description of the ingredients. But ladies think about this: If you only need 1 pint size bottle of concentrate per thousands of gallons of window/mirror cleaning solution what a savings to the environment that would be?! Isn't that the true ecologist thinking? Avoid the need to recycle anything at ALL!

I have never heard of Shaklee. Is it better than Pur or Brita?
