More Green to Chew On

March 6, 2008 - 8:49pm — Cre8tivegang

• Did you know that hard-plastic bottles of water actually leach toxins and require 1.5 million barrels of oil to make each year. Instead try buying larger jugs of water and fill a thermos made of lined aluminum, stainless steel or glass.

• If every American recycled one-tenth of their newspapers, we'd save 25,000.000 trees a year.

• A single quart of motor oil disposed of improperly, can contaminate up to 2,000.000 gallons of fresh water.

• For every $10 spent buying things, 10% goes to packaging that gets thrown away.

• Plant a tree. http://www.arborday.org/

It's been said that you only have to do something for 21 days to make it stick.
