The Importance of Recycling
Why should we recycle? What are the benefits of recycling? Can we make a difference to the world? I believe that if we use the 3 r’s (reduce, reuse and recycle) we can make the world a much better place. I have discovered that by recycling I can make a difference in protecting the planet. I will first discuss how just using three words can change the world forever.
Whether you think that recycling effects everyone or not, recycling makes a difference. We can work together to make earth a better place. It’s the right thing to do. Recycling involves processing materials into new products in order to prevent potentially useful materials. This reduces the consumption of fresh raw material, reduce energy usage and water pollution. Recycling is a key component of modern waste management. Recycling is the 3rd word in ‘reduce, reuse and Recycle’, the last word and to get to the last word we have to start with the first two.
Reduce. By reducing the amount of things that we use and eat, we can in a little way, help the environment and the overall health of the world. For example, mobile phones. People started off with just a brick- like device as a phone, but as the generations get older and older, we start to dump our old phones and just buy the new ones. Cell phones and their accessories contain a large number of hazardous substances known as Persistent and Toxic Chemicals. Included in the list are metals like antimony, arsenic, beryllium and more hazardous substances which can remain in the environment for a long time and have negative effects on humans.
Reuse. You can reuse nearly everything! Food, mobiles, old wood, small pots, you name it… it can be reused! Reusing can reduce greenhouse gas that can contribute to global climate change. It can also help sustain the environment for future generations to come and so we can give the next generation a healthier world to live in. If we keep on reusing household items, we are already reducing what we use and we don’t even
