RECYCLING FACTS FOR KIDS

While the most important way to save valuable resources is to use as few as possible in the first place, recylcing and using recycled products is the next step. Below you’ll find some fascinating Recycling Facts that will give you an idea of how much is used, and how much can be saved by recycling!

Recycling Glass

• Glass can be recycled virtually forever. It never wears out.
• For every 2,000 pounds of glass that is recycled, we save more than 2,000 pounds of other resources (1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar)
• Most bottles and jars that you use contain at least 25% recycled material.
• The energy saved by recycled just one bottle could light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours

Recycling Metals

• Recycling an aluminum can saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore
• In the United States, the amount of steel that is discarded and not recycled every year is enough to build all the new American-made cars

Recycling Paper

• 75% of each tree that is cut down for paper is not used in a paper product
• 98 tons of various resources are required to make one ton of paper
• Paper made from recycled paper uses 70% less energy

Recycling Plastic

• Americans use 4 million plastic bottles every hour, but only 25% of plastic bottles are recycled.

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING, PRAYING, MEDITATION, CONTEMPLATION CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN A MORE POSITIVE APPROACH IN BOTH MY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND START FOCUSING MORE ON THOSE WHO ARE DOING POWERFUL WORK IN THE COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND NOT SO MUCH ON THOSE WHO ARE SELF-PRESCRIBED PESSIMISTS. THERE IS MUCH GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE MUST ALL SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO THOSE WHO ARE EMPOWERED, EXPERIENCED, TRAINED AND MOTIVATED AND WHO ARE BUILDING STRONG BRIDGES BETWEEN PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, AND ORGANIZATIONS. AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE WORKING ON THE FRONT LINES AND BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES.

Types of Renewable Energy

The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, the many types of renewable energy resources-such as wind and solar energy-are constantly replenished and will never run out.

Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.

The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy, is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydroelectric power.

Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called bioenergy.

Hydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity.

Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth.

In fact, ocean energy comes from a number of sources. In addition to tidal energy, there's the energy of the ocean's waves, which are driven by both the tides and the winds. The sun also warms the surface of the ocean more than the ocean depths, creating a temperature difference that can be used as an energy source. All these forms of ocean energy can be used to produce electricity.

Definition of Renewable Energy

"Renewable energy: Any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources."

RECYCLING BASICS FOR THE HOME

Recycling saves energy, landfill space and natural resources.

Home recycling requires a trivial amount of time, yet offers substantial benefit to the homeowner as well as the environment.

According to the EPA, the national recycling rate is just 30%. Increasing materials recycling in the US to 60% could save the equivalent of 315 million barrels of oil per year. Recycling is a great way individuals can make a difference, both locally and globally.
