The Battle of Cold Harbor was a sharp defeat for the Union and a blow to Northern morale, but Grant was not ready to give up. He turned away from Lee and Richmond and headed in a new direction, toward Petersburg.
Recycling Plastics Conserves Energy and Natural Resources. Recycling plastics reduces the amount of energy and natural resources (such as water, petroleum and natural) needed to create virgin plastic.
Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves almost 4 barrels of oil. To improve the plastics recycling process, the plastics industry developed a coding system in 1988. Recyclable plastics contain the universal arrows-in-a-triangle recycling symbol and a number, 1 through 7. This number represents the specific type of resin that composes the plastic, and is useful in grouping and recycling plastics with similar properties.
