Continuing my Earth Day Research

April 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well I continued looking for ways for our family to be friendlier on the economy and found something interesting I thought I would share concerning recycling glass. I read that one glass bottle takes millions of years to degrade if buried in a landfill. Millions of years! Isn’t that creepy?  Glass Cullet is recycled glass gathered from glass containers. The trick is finding uses for them. In the industrial world, it can be used for making new glass products, but what can we as consumers use it for?  Just a few suggestions I found are using it in your fishtank for decoration and for landscaping purposes. I’m sure there are other purposes, but this is something I am going to investigate further. If I find anything else, I’ll be sure to let you know.
