Conservation Facts

  • Plastic milk jugs are made of the highest grade of plastic.
  • Recycled milk jugs can be made into; fleece material, carpeting & other plastic containers
  • There are more than 1,500,000,000 beverage containers (excluding milk) sold in Alberta.
  • Recycling beverage containers is estimated to conserve more than 189,000 barrels of crude oil per year – a savings of $6.5 million a year!
  • A dripping faucet leaking one drop per second can amount to 25 litres per day or 10,000 litres per year. That’s enough water to wash more than 65 loads of laundry!
  • The toilet is the biggest water user in a home, usually accounting for up to 43% of total household use. New ‘low-flow’ toilets use between 50 to 80% less water.
  • The potential exists to recycle 50% or more of the average family’s garbage.
  • Make your own window cleaner. Mix 60 ml of vinegar with 250 ml of water & store in a spray bottle.
