PSU Green "Great minds have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." -If just 25% of U.S.

families used 10 fewer plastic bags a month, we would save over 2.5 BILLION bags a year.

-On the average, the 140 million cars in America are estimated to travel almost 4 billion miles in a day, and according to the Department of Transportation, they use over 200 million gallons of gasoline doing it.

-Every year we throw away 24 million tons of leaves and grass. Leaves alone account for 75% of o

ur solid waste in the fall.

-Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil.

-About 1% of U.S. landfill space is full of disposable diapers, which take 500 years to decompose.

-Energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will operate a TV set for 3 hours, and is the equivalent to half a can of gasoline.

-Glass produced from recycled glass instead of raw materials reduces related air pollution by 20%, and water pollution by 50%.

-Americans use 50 million tons of paper annually -- consuming more than 850 million trees.

-Homeowners use up to 10 times more toxic chemicals per acre than farmers.
