Why Recycle? Recycling of consumer products such as paper, glass bottles, and plastic containers has been around for quite awhile. Today, however, it is more in the public consciousness than at any time in the past. Recycling reduces waste and is big business as well. Here are three reasons to recycle:
Why Recycle? - Save natural resources: Every resource on the planet is finite; however much of it there may be, we will eventually run out. Recycling conserves these resources and slows their depletion. - Save energy: It usually requires less energy to produce recycled products than to make products directly from extracted materials. Making an aluminum can from scratch requires 20 times more energy than manufacturing it from recycled materials. - Reduce pollution: Most energy in the United States is made by burning fossil fuels, which contributes to global climate change and produces pollutants that reduce the length and quality of life. Because recycling takes less energy, it produces less pollution. Additionally, mining raw materials for things such as aluminum cans produces toxic runoff, and producing plastic releases toxic chemicals into the environment.
