Facts About Our Planet(from Maximum Ride: The Final Warning, By: James Patterson)

1.Every 3 months Americans throw away enough aluminum to rebuild the entire US air fleet.

2.Americans trash 700 plastic bottles a second, that enough to make 2,000,000 fleece sweaters(wich could go to the poor or homeless!)

3.A water faucet that leaks 1 drop persecond will waste 165 gallons of water a month.

4.Recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours.(but planting a garden OUTSIDE is even better because it doesn't take electricity.)

5.Americans use almost 1,000,000,000 plastic bags a year. Plastic bag usage is banned in several countries.

*And if you own pets, dogs most likely, will poop if you take them on a walk. Pick it up, it flows into storm drains and it pollutes rivers when it gets in them. When cows burp and or fart that is also a form of pollution and if it means saving the world then if I ever become president I will make a law that you could only own, say, 2 cows.

I am sort of sucked in to (addicted) to Maximum Ride, because it is such a good series and so well written.
