Collect all of the drinks containers you and your family (or roommates) use over three days. Make sure to collect all the cans a bottle you use at home, work, school, and while out and about. If you would normally throw it in the trash then take it home with you and add it to your collection.
After the three day period count up how many container you have generated.
Number of aluminum cans =
Number of glass bottles =
Number of plastic bottles =

1. Recycling one aluminum can saves 2kWh of electricity. How much energy would your family or household save per week if you recycled your cans?(You collected for 3 days so you must multiply your number of cans collected by 2.3 to get approximate weekly values. Once you find the cans you use per week then find how much energy you would save by recycling all of those cans.)
Show your calculations.
2. How much energy doyou save per year by recycling the cans you listed above?
3. Cans are much greener than bottles if we are only recycling, so if all of your drinks had come in cans (not glass or plastic bottles) you should save even more energy.How much more energy would you save if all your drinks came only in cans and you recycled all of these cans each week? Start by working out the total number of drinks containers you would throw away in a week and then find the energy saved if you recycled all of those containers.
4. How much energy would you save per year by recycling all of the drinks you used in that year?
5. The population of Baldwin county is approximately 47,000. Assuming that every one disposes of the total number of drinks containers used by your household how much energy would be saved by Georgians recycling all of the cans they use per year?
6. Think of three incentives that might encourage recycling. For example, in some cities, businesses or households can be fined for not recycling. Would this make everyone more conscientious? What else should we do?
7. Why is reuse more energy efficient than recycling?
