The Oklahoma state Capitol Complex is getting serious about recycling!
New containers for the collection of aluminum and plastics will be delivered to all the Oklahoma State Capital Complex breakrooms as well as being placed near all vending machines.
I’m always thrilled when an organization gets not only serious about recycling, but organized!
What’s a big environmentally friendly company that you’ve probably never heard of?
N-Viro Here’s a link:
N-Viro has generated sales in excess of $40 million since it’s IPO. They take biosolids (sewage sludge) and use lime and other mineral rich combustion byproducts to convert that sludge into biominerals for agriculture.
The resulting product(s) N-Viro Soil is used around the world in farm applications and landscaping, topsoil ammending and in home gardens.
Good news all you recycling fiends out there! We’re winning! Recent news is that over fifty percent of all aluminum cans are being recycled! That’s a real green solution!
That’s a great percentage.
Those of us who are like Jeff Goldblum’s character David Levinson in Independence day, when we fish someone else’s coke can out of the trash just like, are making a difference.
Yes, The Aluminum Association, Can Manufacturers Institute and the Institute of Scrap Recycling recently announced that in 2008, 54.2 percent of aluminum cans were recycled.
Aluminum can be reused over and over. An empty coke can can be recycled and back on the store shelves in two months. Recycling used cans into new ones uses 95 percent less energy to create as well.
Keep recycling America!
