nice tidbit from Breszny

The Nashville Scene publishes Rob Breszny's Free Will Astrology every week, but you can get it at his website, too.

In the email he sent out this week (many thanks to my boss for passing this on every week), there was this very nice factoid:

REBORN STEEL

The North American steel industry annually recycles millions of tons of steel scrap from recycled cans, automobiles, appliances, construction materials, and other steel products. The scrap is remelted to produce new steel. Every ton of steel recycled saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone. The industry's overall recycling rate is 68 percent.
