                              Recycling 
                                saves 95 percent of the energy required to make 
                                aluminum from ore.

                              If 
                              the recycling rate were to reach 80% at the 
                              current level of beverage container sales, nearly 
                              3 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions would 
                              be avoided. This is equivalent to taking nearly 
                              2.4 million cars off the road for a full year.

                              In 
                                1972, 53 million pounds of aluminum were recycled. 
                                Today, we exceed that amount weekly. |  |
