In one year's time...
- At least 11,973 Biters kept their tires properly inflated, saving enough gasoline to drive a hybrid car around the entire Earth.
- At least 11,305 Biters kept the equivalent of 42 bathtubs full of pesticides out of the waste stream by drinking organic, rather than non-organic, beer.
- At least 8,571 Biters gave up eating steak just once a week, saving enough water to fill 19,462 Olympic-sized swimming pools and the weight of more than 7 humpback whales in fertilizer.
- At least 9,476 Biters purchased their weekly fruit from a local farmers' market rather than grocery store, having the environmental impact of removing 15 cars from the road last year.
