Green Tip For The Week

Transparent logic - Glass bottles are among the easiest items to recycle. For every one ton of glass we recycle we save 36 gallons of oil.  Recycling glass also cuts energy use - recycling just one
bottle saves enough energy to power a television for 90 minutes.
(Reprinted from 1,001 Ways to Save the Earth by Joanna Yarrow)
