Some Quick Facts

Here are some quick facts from www.stopglobalwarming.org
  • IF ALL AMERICANS VIEWED AND PAID BILLS ONLINE, WE'D SAVE 18.5 MILLION TREES EACH YEAR.
  • ONE SOFT DRINK CAN RECYCLED BY EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT IN AMERICA WOULD SAVE 24.8 MILLION CANS. THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH ALUMINUM TO CREATE 21 BOEING 737 PLANES.
  • UNPLUG UNUSED ELECTRONICS AND SAVE $256 PER HOUSEHOLD PER YEAR.
  • GET IN THE GAME: Be a good sportsman and unplug your game console. Consumer electronics are the biggest user of electricity in your home, and game consoles are often the worst. Left plugged in all day, every day of the year, a game console uses twice as much energy as the TV it is hooked up to. Leaving your game console plugged in all year is equivalent to having over 200 cell phone chargers left in the wall! Get in the game and unplug your game console when you are not in play!
