Where will you be
this weekend?
You’re not likely to get very far without aluminum. From bikes to planes to cars—as vehicles have to be lighter and stronger to save energy, the advanced alloys that make it possible often contain aluminum. Staying at home? Aluminum’s in your food containers, foil wrap, under your frying pan... wherever you’ll be this weekend, aluminum will be there too. And most of it starts out as bauxite, the most important aluminum ore.
