What makes recycling aluminum so important is that fact that it is so much more difficult to make it from it’s bare materials, bauxite ore.  Constructing it from recycle materials uses 95% less energy, saving equivalent to watching TV for 3 hours. This along with the fact that it can easily be recycled makes it that much more important that we try to recycle as much aluminum as possible.

The huge amounts of electricity are needed during the proces of electrolysis of molten aluminum compounds. Those compounds are not aluminum yet. People's knowledge of electrochemistry is usually very limited or non-existent :-). Going green: as if it were something special. Human primates are a weird species :-). Human primates are a virus to this planet and should stop reproducing. The way we impose our convictions onto other living organisms is pathological. We are so convinced of the truth of our own thoughts that only one thing remains: huge numbers of humans will inevitably be killed by the planet. “massive amounts of energy because it has such a high melting point”

I like keeping things in containers and do not eat much i would heat in it. I can see your point it is one thing that most towns do not recycle and they should.

Thank you for this article! I also read about an innovative approach that involves converting energy from turning prayer wheels into electricity that can power homes and street lights: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-7312-Miami-Interfaith-Spirituality-Examiner~y2009m5d8-Prayer-as-an-alternative-energy-source-to-power-homes-and-street-lights7.
