Title: Conservation
Post by: Wilma on April 23, 2009, 02:15:07 PM
The weather channel has been running some facts about conserving.  One that I noticed was that recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours.

I just put 12 hours of TV watching into my pop can bag.

How do you plug the TV into the can?  ;D

A can is a much more intelligent instrument than a TV. ;D

Wilma did you modify your original post or did you find 2 and 2/3 more cans to put in the bag? ;D ??? Just wanted you to know that  I read all your posts with interest because I think you have a lot of wisdom.

Thank you, David.  Yes, I modified my original post.  After awhile I realized that I had typed in 4 instead of 12.  I thought I had gotten away with it.

Rudy and Waldo,  funny, boys, funny.

Ask away. Someone here will have an answer. If not, I can always ask Jim.

I wonder how long a TV could run on the enegry it took to convert that aluminum can into enegry?
