Plant native or drought tolerant plants. Water trees slowly, deeply and infrequently to encourage deep rooting. A slow drip for an hour once a week should be sufficient for most trees. When washing your car, use a bucket of water or a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle instead of letting the hose run. What You Should Know About Recycling Americans are recycling more than ever before, and with good reason.
Recycling saves energy, natural resources and landfill space.
Aluminum is a material for which a strong recycling market exists. Recycling aluminum cans saves 95 percent of the energy that it takes to manufacture a new can. Throwing away a 12-ounce can is the energy equivalent of throwing away six ounces of gasoline. Aluminum cans are just one example of how important recycling is. Recycling of newspapers, used motor oil, non-aluminum beverage containers and yard clippings is equally important to our environment and our economy.
