I’m Crushed

Large bales of crushed cans sit in a junk yard awaiting transport to a recycling center. There I imagine the cans will be melted and begin another life as re-purposed product.

Either it’s your next soda can or part of a new 2014 Ford F-150. Ford is replacing the steel by adding more aluminum.

  I heard about ford doing that. I guess it will be a much lighter fuel efficient truck. As to crash tests, I guess they have a handle on that….if not we’ll hear about it for sure.
