This post kicks off our March focus on recycling.
From Earth 911:
Recycled glass saves 50% energy vs. virgin glass (Center for Ecological Technology)
Recycling of one glass container saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours (EPA)
Recycled glass generates 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution (NASA)
1 ton of glass made from 50% recycled materials saves 250 lbs. of mining waste (EPA)
Glass can be reused an infinite number of times; over 41 billion glass containers are made each year (EPA)
