Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.
Recycling different products will help the environment. For example, we know that paper comes from trees and many trees are being cut down just to produce paper. By recycling it, we can help lessen the number of trees that are cut down. Products made from raw materials that came from our natural resources should be recycled so that we can help preserve the environment.
The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing because:
- Increasing wealth means that people are buying more products and ultimately creating more waste.
- Increasing population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste.
- New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.
- New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that isn?t biodegradable.
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment.
- Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
- Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
- Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.
Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living in them.
- No space for waste. Our landfill sites are filling up fast, by 2010, almost all landfills in the UK will be full.
- Reduce financial expenditure in the economy. Making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.
- Preserve natural resources for future generations. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials it also uses less energy, therefore preserving natural resources for the future.
I dont know how it is going in your countries but our government,our municipality collects all of them but as you can tell almost all my actions inculudes litters and recyling because although they are collected they are not recyled! In my country they have a bunch of rooms under the ground to leave them perish and be destroyed which damages to the environment!
My mom had been in Slovenia and she saw there was shops which sell recyling clothes or clothes that are made by paper,newspaper,waterbottles and so on . She sent me the pics of it and i thought why we cant do that? Thus i talked with the principle to encourage all students creat and wear their recyling dresses on Wednesdays!
Dont go to death by every step,take the road and make the way to the best future.We are too young to give up,right?
