The useless bits of info to see if we can make a million posts thread
Waste from christmas in the UK alone:
- One billion Christmas cards (17 for every man, woman and child) could end up in bins across the UK this year. One tree is needed to make about 3,000 cards.
- People will use an extra 500 million aluminium drinks cans over the festive period.
- Around 125,000 tonnes of plastic packaging will be thrown away (that's the equivalent weight of more than 50,000 polar bears!!)
- 8 million Christmas trees, most of which will be thrown away in January, generating over 12,000 tonnes of rubbish.
- About 83 km2 of Christmas wrapping paper.
- An extra 750 million glass bottles and jars over Christmas and the New Year.
- An extra 500 million aluminium drinks cans over the festive period.
- Nearly 3,000 tonnes of aluminium foil will be used to wrap Christmas turkeys.
