Recycling metals.

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Good morning,

As someone who is environmentally-minded don’t let anyone
every tell you that recycling is a waste of time or that it
takes just as much energy to recycle as it does to produce
the raw materials.

Even if it were just to reduce the amount of material in
landfills and reduce the exploitation of natural resources
recycling would be worth it, but the energy savings are
also very real. Today let’s look at metals.

Thanks for reading,
