I Just Gotta Eco Ya:
- In 2000 Americans drank 27.1 gallons of beer per capita
- According to KGB answers American men drink an average of 9 beers/week
- A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days.
- Used aluminum cans are the most recycled item in the U.S.,
- Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours — or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
- Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.
- We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year
For those who are interested, there is a Beer Can Museum.

Awesome idea! I am sure lots of people would have some extra beer cans laying around.
