Recycling Benefits
Recycling is an important way for individuals and businesses to reduce the waste they generate and reduce the negative impact of that waste.Recycling conserves our natural resources, saves landfill space, conserves energy, and reduces water pollution, air pollution and the green house gas emissions that cause global warming.
* Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 17 trees.
* The energy we save when we recycle one glass bottle is enough to light a light bulb for four hours.
* It is important to reduce our reliance on foreign oil. Recycling helps us do that by saving energy
* Recycling conserves natural resources, such as timber, water, and minerals.
No matter how safe and efficient our landfills are being billed to be, the possibility of dangerous chemicals coming from the solid waste deposited in these landfills, contaminating underground water supply is always present. Combustion or incineration of our solid waste is effective and energy-generating, but we pay the price in increased air pollution.
Every small contribution to the recycling movement and the initiative to protect our environment adds up to how our present society eventually shapes our nation’s and the Earth’s future.
