“A serious consideration of the need to develop circular modes of productions… would be one way of counteracting the throwaway culture….” Laudato Si’ 22

Fact: Using aluminum products is a good example of a circular economy because they can be recycled an infinite number of times. Making a can from recycled material saves 90% of the energy needed to make a new can. www.aluminum.org

Healing Action: Recycle aluminum products. Recycle one can and power a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours or your television for 3 hours. Recycling Facts (lehighcounty.org).
