UK facts that you might not know


UK Facts - did you know


Was reading a couple of articles this morning, did you know,

1. Approximately £424 worth of food per person is thrown away each year.
2. Only 7% of plastic waste is recycled out of 2.95 million tons produced each year.
3. 26 million trees are cut down each year to be made into Sunday papers.
4. The British public, waste over 6 billion pounds of electricity each year. That's equivalent to giving everyone in the British population £105.
5. The UK produces enough waste to fill the Albert Hall every two hours.
6. We now use 70% more water than we did 30 years ago. Flushing the toilet is to blame.
