Where do you start? If you can do nothing else, aluminum beverage cans are a good place to start. Recycling aluminum reduces energy use by 90 to 95%. Energy saved from recycling one aluminum can will run a TV for 3 hours.

Try to remember to recycle when possible. Recycling just 2 aluminum cans saves the same amount of energy required to power a personal computer for an 8 hrs. work day.

One of the recycling centers where I live will give you two cents more per pound if you place a bumper sticker on your car that lets everyone know where you recycle. If you do recycle you may want to check with your recycling center to see if they have any offers that will increase your take.
