It harms forests, which affects plants and animals, and the chemicals which are in the process affect the health of people living nearby. Aluminium is one of the most common materials in modern life. It's the cheapest rial to recycle. And the process is easy. Cans are also one of the easiest things to recycle- drinks cans appear in the shops only 6 weeks after recycling! In Sweden, where this is very successful, 92% of cans are recycled. In Britain, people empty cans for charity. There are several hundred places that buy cans and then recycle them. Just imagina very can in the UK were recycled like this, it would raise over £30 million a year for good causes! Answer the questions. 2 1. What happens to most drink cans? 2.
