Aircrafts are responsible for 5-10 percent of global warming.

rest.

One recycled glass bottle saves the energy needed to light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours.
If we recycle the aluminum trash that Americans throw away, we could rebuild the entire US airline fleet every three months.
If you throw an aluminum can out the window, it will still litter the Earth up to 500 years later.
Recycling glass lowers the melting temperature and saves 32% of the energy needed for production of new glass.

When recycling, it takes 2 plastic soft drink bottles to make enough polyester fiber for a baseball cap.
