Global warming

Our planet is starting to feel the effects of global warming already--and we need to do whatever we can to lessen the impact. Production of certain materials from scratch can release significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Aluminum production is a prime example--producing new aluminum creates 95% more CO2 than recycling old aluminum cans. In addition, recycling paper saves trees--for each ton of paper recycled, 17 trees are saved. Each of these trees can extract around 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air in a year. Therefore, we should start recycling by reuse, reduce the use of paper such as we can save a paper towel by using a cloth towel for cleaning up the household messes, for cleaning countertops, table, windows, mirror and others household surfaces.
