Recycle, Reuse, Reduce.
Recycling is important.
Recycling helps protect the environment.
Recycling reduces the need to process raw materials that create air and water pollution.
Recycling saves energy.
Recycling decreases the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, which helps climate change.
What Happens If We Do Not Recycle?
Recycling crucially effects environmental health. When we fail to recycle properly we destroy natural habitats. Eventually we will run out of resources if we continue not reusing what we already have. There will be an increase of landfill, marine pollution, and wasted resources. We will be put in great danger as our homes can be destroyed, no more everyday resources, and people could die of toxic gasses.
How To Recycle At Home?
In order to recycle properly and make a difference there are a few guidelines to success. Know what to throw by putting the right materials in your recycling.
What to put in your recycling bin: mixed papers (newspapers, magazines, cardboard, wrapping paper, etc.), cans (aluminum, foil, tin, steel, metal), unbroken glasses (wine bottles, jars), plastic (plastic water bottles, shampoo bottles, milk jugs).
But wait… Before you just toss it away, keep food and liquid out of your recycling, no loose plastic bags and no bagged recyclables, and make sure you empty, clean, and dry the material.
