Default Info on the Environment

Does anyone know of any more websites where I can get info like this:

For every ton of paper that is recycled, the following is saved: 7,000 gallons of water; 380
gallons of oil; and enough electricity to power an average house for six months.

You can run a TV for six hours on the amount of electricity that is saved by recycling one
aluminum can.

By recycling just one glass bottle, you save enough electricity to power a 100-watt bulb
for four hours.

Don't ask for ATM receipts. If everyone in the United States refused their receipts, it would save
a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!
-
Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You'll conserve up to five gallons of water per day.
Throughout the entire United States, the daily savings could add up to more water than is
consumed every day in all of New York City.

- Get a voice-mail service for your home phone. If all answering machines in U.S. homes were
replaced by voice-mail services, the annual energy savings would total nearly two billion kilowatt
hours. The resulting reduction in air pollution would be equivalent to removing 250,000 cars
from the road for a year!


I'm having a hard time finding stuff. I find lots of "things you can do" but w/o the info of what the impact is, kwim?
