What does Recycling do for you and me? When we recycle our cans, our water bottles, our paper items, our batteries, and so many other recylable items, we reduce the need for landfills. Through recycling programs, we reduce our dependency on forestry and mining production. How does that benefit us? By recycling we reduce the impact that industrial production has on our world. Allowing industries to utilize recycled materials is desirable because it saves energy, decreases emissions of greenhouse gases and other dangerous air and water pollutants.
Saving energy is crucial to our environment. Using energy requires greater consumption of fossil fuels and creates more emissions of air and water pollutants. In recycling materiels, we conserve energy, but we gain most from the nature- and life-preserving benefits. Recycling keeps global climate in check. Reducing the amount of energy through industy reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and emissions of air and water pollutants. Reduced fossil-fuel use keeps materials out of landfills, incineraters and groundwater which places pollutants into the air we breathe, and into ash residue. Overwhelmingly, the need for recycling is compelling. As our ever-expanding population grows to phenomenal proportions, we must, as a rule, recycle what we can. We are simply giving back the Earth what it has given us. And in doing so, we prolong our longevity, as well as promote a healthier, cleaner and safer environment for all.
