Thatâs because recycling one ton of metal or paper saves about three tons of carbon dioxide, a much bigger payoff than the other materials analyzed by the E.P.A. Recycling one ton of plastic saves only slightly more than one ton of carbon dioxide. A ton of food saves a little less than a ton. For glass, you have to recycle three tons in order to get about one ton of greenhouse benefits. Worst of all is yard waste: it takes 20 tons of it to save a single ton of carbon dioxide.

A watt is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer or usage. A kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. A kilowatt hour is the amount of electricity used. To calculate the amount an appliance uses in kilowatt hours, take its wattage, multiply it by the number of hours you use it, and divide by 1,000.If you take a 100-watt light bulb and use it for 540 hours, the light bulb will use 54 kWh of electricity.f you look at your power bill, you will see your monthly kilowatt hour usage. This is how much electricity you used for that month and were charged for. Normally your power company will bill you based on a rate per kWh. Sometimes this rate varies depending on the time of day or your usage.
