Recycling
Much of what we throw away could be reused. Recycling puts garbage to good
use. Recycling helps preserve precious resources because it saves on the use of raw
materials and energy. It also reduces pollution caused when waste it dumped.
Glass can be remolded. This is better than making fresh glass from raw materials,
but it is even better to reuse bottles and jars. Metals can be recycled by being remolded
and reused. Metals such as aluminum from tins and cans which are part of household
waste can be recycled. Scraps from cars provide a source of metals for recycling.
Paper is easy to recycle. Every home and office should have a paper recycling
routine. Plastics are the worst problem because they are not biodegradable, as they do not
break down. They are difficult to recycle and cause harmful pollution when burned. It is
important to use as little plastic as possible. We should only use plastic that can be
recycled or is biodegradable.
In conclusion, recycling is very useful.
