City of Keene
♻️ CONGRATULATIONS to the City of Keene, NH and the City of Keene Public Works Department! ♻️
By taking the time to recycle OVER 300 TONS of scrap metal (instead of trashing it) the town conserved enough energy to drive a car more than 3.42 MILLION MILES!
How? Because it takes more resources and energy to process and manufacture new metals, opposed to using recycled materials that do not need to be mined and processed.
