All the people in the United States make enough garbage each day to fill 100,000 garbage trucks. In only one day, people in the United States toss out 15,000 tons of packaging material. It takes 90% less energy to recycle an aluminum can than to make a new one. Sixty-five billion aluminum soda cans are used each year. Each 4 quarts of oil discarded during an average oil change can contaminate 1 million gallons of water. People who change their own oil improperly dump the equivalent of 16 Exxon Valdez spills into the nation's sewers and landfills every year. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves seventeen trees. Because diapers aren't biodegradable, they may actually outlive the great-grandchildren of the child who wore them. During the 1970's, futurests predicted that the computer revolution would eventually make paper obsolete. It has had the opposite effect, as computers make it possible to produce hard-copy documents more easily then ever before. One observer noted, new technologies have proven to be "not a contraceptive but a fertililty drug." Only about one-tenth of all solid garbage in the United States gets recycled. Remember...just because you throw it away, doesn't mean it goes away.
