Infographic: What if you made Earth Day every day?
It’s Earth Day and there is no better time to think about sustainability and the environment. Here are some fun facts about how we can protect our planet.
- Replacing a desktop computer with a laptop saves $10 in electricity costs per person a year. Imagine the savings multiplied by millions.
- Reducing the average number of hamburgers eaten a week from 3 to 1 could save 1,200 rain barrels of water per person a year – cultivating the food we eat makes up half our daily water consumption
- Doubling the amount each individual recycles from 26% to 52% could keep an estimated 8 trash bins per person a year out of the landfill.
These facts and other interesting statistics can be found in this infographic created by Green Mountain Energy Company to illustrate the impact simple changes in everyday actions can have to make Earth a better place.
