Earth Day
We take a look at Earth Day by the numbers
MARCH 28, 2013. Compiled by Claudia Atticot and Stephanie Kraus.
Recycling companies process the materials from empty containers to build new ones.
Energy & Waste
The average American produces more than four pounds of garbage per day. Over the course of a year, that is more than 1,600 pounds of garbage per person. From 1990 to 2010, the total amount of garbage going to landfills dropped by almost 10 million tons, from 145.3 million to 135.5 million tons. Letting a bathroom faucet run for five minutes uses as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb burn for 14 hours. Americans throw away 25 billion Styrofoam cups every year.
Plastic
Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Plastics require 100 to 400 years to break down in a landfill. The energy saved by recycling one plastic bottle will power a computer for 25 minutes.
Glass
It takes approximately one million years for a glass bottle to break down in a landfill. Recycling one glass bottle can power a computer for 30 minutes. Producing glass from new materials requires 30 percent more energy than producing it from used glass.
Paper
The average American uses 650 pounds of paper each year. Almost 50% of office paper is recovered through recycling.
Recycling 2,000 pounds of paper saves 17 trees. By recycling one ton of paper, we save enough energy to heat a home for six months.
Water
Almost 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. Only 1% is usable for agriculture, manufacturing and personal needs.
The average American uses more than 750,000 gallons of water per year. Around the world, the average is less than half of that.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a floating dump located in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii. The island is twice the size of Texas. The trash found there is almost 90% plastic, and weighs 3.5 million tons.
