Each ton of solid waste diverted from disposal, whether reused, recycled or composted, is one less ton of solid waste requiring disposal. The value of reusing, recycling and composting solid waste is clear when you consider the amount of disposal space required to accept that material. By implementing other waste- management strategies (as well as resource-management strategies), we reduce our dependence on incinerators and landfills. And when using recycled materials in place of trees, metal ores and minerals, there is less pressure to expand forestry and mining production.…
We have all heard about “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” and does it sound like a beautiful solution to all our problems. The 3R’s are not a solution, but a slow process of downcyling of raw materials, whether they are biological (from the natural world; biodegradable) or technical (pure, raw materials such as metals and plastics; upcyclable) nutrients, to a point in which they are rendered useless; most likely ending up in a landfill to decay ‘till eternity. The authors prefer to use the word upcycled, rather than recycled, because most products today are not conceived in a way where they can be safely recycled. For example, a soda can will never become a soda can again. If it is…
Recycling is the processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable. This helps conserve energy and reduce the consumption of natural resources. Recycling used products is one of the best ways to save the environment. It is important to recycle, so as to avoid environmental harm. Used plastic bottles, glass, and newspapers can be effectively recycled to make useful items. Here are some positive effects of recycling.…
[Sustainability means providing for the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the environment to provide for our future generations. We are responsible for leaving our future generations a safe, healthy environment. We risk human and Wildlife extinction if we continue the way we are going. Our planet cannot sustain human life this way. We can all work together to advert this from happening and we must act individually as well.]…

Today, recycling, maintaining our sustainability and taking care of our environment is a big thing. While the best method is to reuse our wastes, this often cannot be done. Therefore, the only way to go seems to be to recycle, to use the same materials to make that same product again and again. While this seems to be a great idea, it is not always the case.…
There are many problems facing the world today; serious problems that could have grave consequences if not resolved within the next few years. However, there is one looming problem, which if not resolved, could make all other problems obsolete; the way that we take care of the environment, or rather the way we neglect it. The environment is a necessity for everyday life. Without the environment, we would die. How we chose to end global warming is interesting, because much of our daily uses affect the environment.…
In America, the choice to recycle is in the hands of each individual, but many choose the easy choice over the right choice. Recycling is important to us in so many ways but the lack of education and recycling resources available can make it a difficult process. Recycling improves many areas in our lives, even if we haven’t caught on yet. It is a constant effort, but one that could have endless benefits and it is never too late to start.…

That’s why recycling is important and you should take a closer look at your life and how your recycled materials are used in your daily life.…
Most accounts of issues claim that there are a variety of benefits of recycling. “Recycling is the process of converting products back into their constituent raw materials and then reprocessing this raw into new article” (Healey, 1999). People’s desire is limitless, but the resources in the world are not infinite. In daily life, there are so many products that can be seen everywhere, for instance, glass, paper, steel, plastic products and rubber products. Hence, ignoring recycling is a large waste, that means just throwing garbage or disposing of it in landfills which is not a permanent solution. As the impassioned discussion over the issue of recycling comes into the spot light of the world, it has long been asserted that the issue of recycling in modern times is very important. Recycling makes participants feel fine, and is considered by some to be a moral responsibility, which has become a ‘social norm’ (BIEC, 1997). This essay will try to demonstrate three main benefits of recycling including its important role in economies, environment and energy-saving.…
Pollution is a really big problem in our planet and it must be stopped immediately. It must be stopped before our planet goes extinct. There is pollution everywhere around our schools and our homes. Pollution has been a serious issue for our world. There are air pollution, water pollution and ground pollution. We should all take precautions and find ways to reduce pollution. Pollution will lead us nowhere except to create disease and suffering. Putting an end to pollution will take time and patience. There are many ways we can help put a stop to contamination. One way we can prevent pollution is in our school, we can throw away our waste in the trash cans instead of just throwing it on the ground. We can recycle the water bottles and all the plastic items. Instead of driving to school we can walk or car pull, that way we create less air pollution. One can also start a club that is dedicated to conserve the environment by taking time to clean up a lake. There are many small things we can do every day to make the environment a safer and cleaner place to live in. All we have to do is put in effort in preserving our Earth. With small steps we can get there.…
