Benefits of Recycling

Recycling is an important way for people and businesses to reduce the waste they make; it turns waste materials into useful things, and provides a way to take care of waste reducing pollution, conserving energy and creating jobs; therefor, benefits the environment and our quality of life.
The first cause of recycling is to reduce pollution; for example, recycling paper would avoid cutting down trees, and destroying forests which provide us with oxygen. When you recycle plastic bottles; for instance, it reduces waste on the street when people litter. Another example is when you recycle oil after cooking, pouring the used vegetable oil into a plastic containers then throwing the container away in the garbage instead of pouring the oil down the sink will save the lives of millions of sea animals on the ocean and the water we consume to live. Also with recycling, everything can be used to its maximum potential, nothing have to be wasted.
The second cause of recycling is to conserve energy, because creating new products with recycling materials uses less energy than creating them with brand new materials. For example, recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a computer for 3 hours, this is because extracting aluminum from its raw form takes 90% more energy than making a new product from a recycled can. It also reduces energy that a person uses to work on a new product.
The third cause of recycling is to create jobs, because recycling isn’t just good for the environment, it is also good for businesses. It is cheaper to make products using recycled materials. It creates new businesses such as for transporting, processing and selling recovered materials as well as companies that make and distribute products with recycled materials. Other than creating new business and jobs, recycling benefits and increases the economy through material sales as well.
In addition, I would mention two important effects of recycling which benefits the environment and our quality of life.
The effect of recycling benefits our environment including clean streets and sidewalks, clean air and water, as well as conserving energy that avoids global warming, and it also saves lives of animals in the sea and land.
Another effect of recycling would benefit our quality of life by permitting us to live in a safer place. We would acquire ways to recycle as everyday life thinking not just in us but in the whole human existence, in sea life and animals; generating at the same time more and more jobs for people that can’t find a job in the actuality, reducing poverty.
In conclusion, if everyone followed the causes of recycling in all mentioned above in order to enjoy the effects, it would make the world a healthier and better place to live, and the global warming would slow down, allowing us to survive in the world today. Recycling benefits everyone everywhere, and this is what we should think about to save the planet.
