My mission is to travel around the world and create awareness about the importance of recycling and the difference each of us can make. The next time you throw something in the trash, ask yourself if it could be recycled.
Each of us can make a difference when we recycle. Every day items that could be easily be recycled are sent to land fills.
Recycling Facts
*Each of us uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year. (EPA, 2008)
*Americans throw away enough aluminum every month to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.
*The 36 billion aluminum cans landfilled last year had a scrap value of more than $600 million. (Some day we'll be mining our landfills for the resources we've buried.)
*Americans throw away enough glass bottles and jars every two weeks to fill the 1.350-foot towers of the former World Trade Center.
*Glass never wears out -- it can be recycled forever. We save over a ton of resources for every ton of glass recycled -- 1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar.
*1.5 million barrels of oil is used annually to produce plastic water bottles for America alone - enough to fuel some 100,000 U.S. cars for a year.
*If every American household recycled just one out of every ten HDPE bottles they used, we’d keep 200 million pounds of the plastic out of landfills every year.
*If every American household recycled just one out of every ten HDPE bottles they used, we’d keep 200 million pounds of the plastic out of landfills every year.
*Styrofoam, it is un-recyclable- you can't make it into new Styrofoam. The industry wants you to assume it is- don't BUY it!
*The average American throws out about 61 lbs. of tin cans every month.
*If only 100,000 people stopped their junk, mail, we could save up to 150,000 trees annually. If a million people did this, we could save up to a million and a half trees.
*One gallon of used motor oil can contaminate 1 million gallons of water.

I'm headed East next week so I stopped by Detroit's Rough TB Prison to pick up a load of prisoners to transport. We'll travel together until I find another secure setting.

A quick visit to The I 275/ M14/ I 96 Detroit's Rough TB Prison !! GC180W5, to see who all was there I may know, you know a few of the chum's from the local slammer that maybe moved up to the Big House. Looks like the clearing of the area outside the facilities is still ongoing, but no problem for us sneaky guys. Lots of inmates, as other prisons it appears to be over the legal limit! Still there was only a few I knew. Took some names to see if they can help me on some jobs I got planned for the future, then moved on after paying off the guards. Thanks for the visiting privileges!
