- Recycled milk jugs can be made into; fleece material, carpeting & other plastic containers
- There are more than 1,500,000,000 beverage containers (excluding milk) sold in Alberta.
- Recycling beverage containers is estimated to conserve more than 189,000 barrels of crude oil per year – a savings of $6.5 million a year!
- A dripping faucet leaking one drop per second can amount to 25 litres per day or 10,000 litres per year. That’s enough water to wash more than 65 loads of laundry!
- The toilet is the biggest water user in a home, usually accounting for up to 43% of total household use. New ‘low-flow’ toilets use between 50 to 80% less water.
