Aluminum

One of the most efficient forms of recycling is aluminum recycling. Aluminum can be reused repeatedly and requires very little processing to make it available for reuse. Manufacturers simply melt down crushed aluminum stock and add it to freshly extracted aluminum without any degradation of quality in the finished product. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling an aluminum can requires less than 5 percent of the energy that would be expended in creating a similar can out of fresh bauxite ore. The Aluminum Association estimates that the energy saved in recycling a single aluminum can could power a television for 3 hours.

Are energy saving light bulbs cheaper?

In general an energy saving bulb will be much more expensive to buy than an incandescent bulb, but much cheaper to operate as it uses only a fraction of the electricity. Ideally the money saved in use more than offsets the purchase price making an energy saving bulb cheaper over its entire lifetime, but in reality this may not be the case.
