One family can do a lot to help the environment. Every small thing counts, and those little things add up over time to be much larger things. Just one family using recycled goods can help in big ways. From simply recycling, to re-using things, to some creative new uses for items- one family can help out a lot.
Last week, I asked about what you do to help out, and you offered some great ideas. This week, I’d love to continue that theme.
According to research:
According to The Public Recycling Officials of Pennsylvania, for every ton of paper that is recycled, the following are saved:
- 17 trees
- 275 pounds of sulfur
- 350 pounds of limestone
- 9,000 pounds of steam
- 60,000 gallons of water
- 225 kilowatt hours
- 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space

Every little bit adds up, and helps to save more and more in the end. Finding ways to reuse what would otherwise be thrown out, can really add up in terms of benefit.
For more information, feel free to take a look at week one , two of, and week three of the test drive!
