Recycling Glass Saves Energy

Did you know that people in the US throw away enough glass jars and bottles to fill a giant skyscraper every two weeks? Recycling of one glass container saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours! All glass jars and bottles can be recycled. When you throw glass away you waste natural resources, energy and money. Think of ways that you can reuse glass in your home. Many glass containers can be reused for storage of food or small items like nails or paper clips.
