Here we go with some little tidbits ……
100 million trees worth of junk mail arrives in American mail boxes each year.
————————————-
Every year, 20 million tons of packaging goes into landfills. (more…)

If every American walked 1 mile to get lunch instead of driving
a car. You would burn 100 calories and avoid the same amount
of CO2 pollution as taking 4.3 million cars off the road.
Do you have a trouble light? If so, change out the incandescent bulb
with a compact fluorescent bulb (CFL). You will use less energy, there will
be less heat and will be safer in tight spaces! A trouble light is
the kind with a hook at the top with a long extension cord for use
under car, in closets, etc.
A new refrigerator uses half the energy than the typical refrigerator
from 1990′s. That means half of the electricity and half of the CO2
pollution.
Hope this helps …….
