Aluminum is the only material that's endlessly recyclable, and It takes energy to make aluminum from scratch. In fact, it takes 95% more energy to make aluminum from bauxite ore than to recycle old aluminum into new. The energy you save by recycling a single aluminum can will run a TV for three hours.

How do you convince your family school or community to recycled aluminum cans?

People are far more likely to recycle if a recycling container is conveniently located where they usually consume their beverages, especially if they don't have to empty it. It might also help to inform them that it takes a tremendous amount of electricity to separate aluminum from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum exists in nature. Much, much less energy is needed to recover aluminum from existing aluminum products, like cans.
