Milk and greenhouse gases

For those mothers who wear pantyhose and nylon knee high's I read the best tip in my Go Green Magazine. To keep wrapping paper from coming unwrapped or in my case, to keep my kids from playing "light saber" with it, take a nylon or a pair of pantyhose and put the wrapping paper (the kind on the roll) and slip it in the nylon. This keeps the paper from getting torn and they can be kept together in a neat bunch. Just put them into a kitchen type plastic garbage pail
Also, according to the National Geographic Channel's new documentary called "Human Footprint", each American consumes 3,264 half gallons of milk over the course of a lifetime, which adds up to 989,985,594,240 half gallons for the population as a whole. It takes more than one trillion kilowatt hours of energy (emitting 740,674,244 tons of greenhouse gases) to produce, ship, and landfill all those paper milk cartons-he same amount of energy needed to power NYC for 16 years! Only 2% of those cartons are ever recycled. If Americans reled every one of their half gallon milk cartons, and those were turned back into new ones, we woul keep 3,689,244 TONS of greenhouse gases out of the atomsphere.
