In this area we use AT THE VERY LEAST an estimated 50 million
glass containers a year; if we achieve close to 80% reuse and recycling rate for glass, we avoid landfilling 40 million glass bottles and jars a year.

You could go on to say that each time a glass bottle
or jar is recycled, it saves about 1,500 BTUs of energy, so annually, the recycling of glass
bottles and jars by our community could save 60 billion BTUs of energy, an energy equivalent of gasoline, or, about 500,000 gallons of gasoline a year.

Come on, think about it.

Recycling bottles doesn’t really help anything. It just gets crushed up and turned back into sand. It uses less resources to manufacture glass from scratch. (I am adamant about recycling everything else.)
