Recycling
by Blake Carlson
Have you ever thought about how the earth gets so polluted? Many endangered animals are going extinct because of earth pollution and landfills. In my
opinion, I strongly believe that ever on should recycle every thing they can. Recycling is a
very important thing to do, plastic waste is contaminated from materials such as
paper and ink, and recycling has environmental benefits.
Recycling is a very important thing to do. When you don’t recycle It makes harmful chemicals/gasses that are released from landfills. Recycling helps to stop air pollution caused by trash. Deforestation, global warming, and habitat destruction are also things caused by not recycling.
Plastic waste is contaminated from things such as paper, and ink. In 2013 Americans made about 254 million tons of trash, and recycled and composted 87 million tons of this material equal to 34.4% recycling rate. On average we recycle 1.511 lbs of of our trash.
Recycling has environmental benefits. First it reduces the need for extracting, refining, and processing raw materials. These all do bad things to the environment including substantial air, water pollution, air pollution etc. Recycling saves energy and it also reduces greenhouse gasses emissions.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that you should recycle so that trash doesn’t go to landfills. In
my opinion, I strongly everyone should recycle everything they can. Recycling is a
very important thing to do, plastic waste is contaminated from materials such as
paper and ink, and recycling has environmental benefits.
If you ever find paper, plastic or something you can recycle on the ground
