Everyone knows that recycling is good for our planet, but did you know that recycling can actually save energy? Value Added is a project conducted by CEEE Energy Educator Pat Higby and UNI graduate student Tony Fang which shows how much energy can be saved by recycling.

For example did you know....

• One recycled can saves enough energy to light 10 one hundred watt light bulbs for one hour

or that...

• Recycling in the USA saves enough energy to power the homes of 7 states like Iowa
