But if an aluminium can goes to landfill, it will stay there for 500 years before it oxidises.
Every minute of every day, an average of 113,200 aluminium cans are recycled.

Composting may be one of the best things you can do for the planet. Learn how to get started with your own compost so your environmental impact is reduced.

Paying attention to where your food comes from is all the rage these days, but eco-entrepreneur and yoga teacher Christine Mason McCaull wants you to pay attention to where it goes, too. "Food doesn't suddenly appear fully born on the grocery store shelf, and it doesn't magically disappear from your garbage can," she says. With the launch of her website, GoGreen Online, McCaull hopes to spread the word about the many environmental benefits of composting, among other green choices.

Why not just throw your food scraps and old leftovers into the trash? "Food waste and other organics such as flowers and yard clippings are not separated from your other garbage when they get to the landfill," McCaull explains. "The organic wastes get layered and buried, which stops them from getting air. Instead of breaking down with oxygen, they break down anaerobically, producing methane." By contrast, in the composting process, bacteria and insects break down food waste in a natural aerobic process that absorbs oxygen and yields nitrogen. Reducing trash in the landfill and nourishing the plants in your garden with compost are additional benefits.

For McCaull, living a sustainable life and sharing it with others is an inevitable part of the yogic path. "Yoga will lead you to living green over time," she says. "Once you start practicing yoga, you can't really put your energy wholeheartedly into anything that's not leading to greater seeing, greater connection, and positive impact."

McCaull encourages would-be environmentalists to see the practice of taking the planet into account when making decisions as a daily learned behavior. "Just keep showing up, and don't get discouraged," she says. And keep composting.

A life-sized elephant has been created using nearly 30,000 used batteries to highlight the thousands of tonnes of cells that end up in landfill each year.

More than one million schoolchildren collected the batteries used to create the 10ft-tall structure, which weighs two tonnes.

The elephant will be on show at Hanwell Zoo in west London for the duration of the summer holidays.
