Plastic bags take 700-1000 years to decompose, and the average family uses 1 ton of paper per year requiring the cutting down of 60 trees that take 20 years to regrow. Leather bags release chemicals that can instantly kill 600-800 aquatic animals. Recycling conserves the environment by reducing waste and reusing materials. Recycling 1 million tons of steel saves 1.3 million tons of iron ore, 718,000 tons of coal, and 62,000 tons of limestone. Recycling 82 million tons of waste in 2006 is equivalent to taking 39 million cars off the road for a year.
