Recycling saves energy

My household recyles bottles, cans, and newspapers like good doobies. Aside from doing that, I never gave a lot of thought to recycling.

An article in the February 7 of Fortune had a statistic that fascinated me, however. It said that, because making new cans from used ones requires 95% less energy than making them from bauxite, recycling a single can saves enough energy to run a TV set for three hours.

Unbelievable.
