Recycled plastics are made into fiberfill, bottles, shower stalls, recycling bins, scouring pads, paint brushes, industrial strapping, drainpipes, plastic lumber, and flowerpots. Markets are expanding and developing daily. Every ton of glass recycled saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel oil needed to make glass from virgin materials Recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than making new aluminum from bauxite ore. Metal

RECENT DISASTERS

The two articles that i read were Earthquakes hit Japan and Indonesia and Strong earthquakes in Southern Iran kills 4.
Two strong off shore earthquakes have struck Asia, triggering tsunami alerts and evacuations in coastal towns. This what the first article was about.
A strong earthquake of 6.1 magnitude on the Richter scale struck southern Iran on Wednesday, killing 4 people and wounding 34 so far, local media reported. This is what the second article is about.
I think that the Strong earthquakes in southern Iran kills 4 was worse.
Well the difference between the twoare one kills 4 people. the other one doesnt tell if it did.
