Recycling - Navo

• 27,000 trees are cut each day to make toilet paper. 95% of data is stored on paper, and most of it is never looked at again. Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles per hour, and each one takes 500 years to decompose.
• Thousands of marine creatures die by mistakenly swallowing plastic bags thinking that they are jellyfish. In 2015 all New Yorkers must recycle all old electronics like old PC's and TV's or must face a $100 fine. 
• Recycling one ton of papers save 17 trees. Today, almost 22% of the glass produced in the United States is recycled. One drip per second from a faucet wastes 540 gallons of water a year.
• Americans recycle only 5% of all the plastics produced in this country. Americans use 100 million steel cans and 200 million aluminum beverage cans every day.
• More than 30 million trees are cut down to produce a year’s supply of newspapers.
