Frannie loves to enjoy her tomato juice, but she always makes sure to recycle her can when she's done!
It reduces waste-When we are throwing less into the garbage, less stuff ends up in our landfills!
It saves energy-Recycling takes much less energy than manufacturing new materials. For example, recycling aluminum cans uses 95% less energy than manufacturing new ones!
It's good for the environment-Recycling reduces damage to wetlands, rivers, forests and other wildlife habitat.
The thing Frannie likes the most about recycling is that it saves water!-Making new products uses a LOT of water. Much more than it takes to recycle those products. When you recycle, you are helping conserve our water resources!
