EF Fridays: Saving Trees by Recycling

Here’s an interesting fact. Did you know that one bale of cardboard is the equivalent of 17 trees!

Mr. Murph goes through a little over 1000 tons of trash a day. That means we are sorting out (and eventually recycling) about 50 tons of cardboard a day.

We are pulling that out of the waste stream which is equivalent to about 800 trees.  Think about that… 800 trees a day.  It doesn’t take long until you save an entire forest.

The bottom-line is, we save by recycling.
