No Space for Waste

Saria Simpson '18, Staff Writer

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which you live. Recycling is something we can all do to help our environment. Approximately 75% of the rubbish that we throw away can be recycled. Recycling helps conserve new and raw material and protects natural habitats for the future.

Recycled materials use considerably less energy in the manufacturing process than that required for producing new products from raw materials. When recycling, a substantial portion of our waste can be broken down into their original elements and used for new products.

Recycling isn’t just good for the environment, it’s also good for the economy. It conserves resources, saves money, creates jobs, and even generates revenue. There are also ethical reasons why recycling is important. If we don’t conserve our resources now, our later generations will be the ones who have to pay a hefty amount for the damage we have done.

You can recycle at home, at work, and at school while encourage others to help save the environment.
