pass on the canned drink....

Did you know : " According to the Container Recycling Institute in Washington, DC, the amount of energy needed to pro-duce enough aluminum for one beverage can is equivalent to about one-quarter of that can filled with  gasoline. In 1999, aluminum pro-duction accounted for 2 percent of the worlds energy use." from http://www.nodirtygold.org/dirty_metals_report.cfm

So next time we are thinking of getting a cold drink, maybe we can get one in a plastic bottle? Or maybe refill our old bottle if there's a drinking tap nearby? Or if you are in China, wait until you get to home or office where you can always readily be offered a fresh cup of tea in a (usually) re-useable cup.
