Many times we can become blinded from the endless amounts of statistics and numbers being introduced, but maybe this list can help us understand how important it is to watch what we do with these essential daily items. Check out how long each of these products take to decompose in the environment…
* Banana Peel: 3-4 weeks
* Paper Bag: 1 month
* Cardboard: 2 months
* Wool Sock : 1 year
* Tinned Steel Can: 50 years
* Aluminum Can: 200-500 years (But if recycled, it can be reused within 6 weeks!)
* Disposable Diapers: 550 years
* Plastic Bags : 20-1000 years
* Plastic Jug: 1 million years
* Glass : 1-2 million years
* Styrofoam: 1+ million years
I'm sure a pklastic ball and jug are prettry much on the same level.
