Best Answer

Well aluminum comes from a substance called bauxite. Bauxite is a fossil fuel. A fossil fuel is a fuel that is formed over the course of many years. Hence, once we use up the bauxite supply, we will actually be using up the aluminum supply, it will take a long time for it to form again.

2nd Answer:

Well, actually, bauxite is NOT a fossil (carbon-based) fuel. It is a mineral. There is a finite amount of it on the planet, but it does not appear to be in danger of running out anytime soon. Plus, aluminum, while expensive to produce initially, is one of the most ECOLOGICALLY and ECONOMICALLY prudent materials to recycle - takes only 10 to 15% of the original energy to recycle an aluminum can. So go ahead and recycle your aluminum, it's one of the few things it makes real sense to recycle.

What do you think is going to happen in 2012?

I have actually spoken to a mayan. 2012 will not be the end of the world first off. He said in 2012 there will be a change, but it will not be the end of the world. We do not exactly know what is going to happen on 2012. some people say world is going to end but some say it is not going to happen. The truth is if its really going to happen, before that particular incident happens several disastrous would take place. Hence if we are patient we would come to know the truth.
