3 ITEMS TO ALWAYS RECYCLE

TO HELP SAVE THE

ENVIRONMENT
Our environment is facing destruction every single day due to
abusive human practices that are not good for our planet. We
need to change our ways if we want to have sustainable
resources, not only for us, but also for future generations as well.
Saving our environment can be done through simple things each
one of us can do. This article focuses on how we can help save
the environment by recycling. 

When we recycle we utilize our old waste products and

transform them into new products that we can use again. It’s
good for the environment as it lessens the waste that needs to be
disposed of. This helps in reducing pollution.  

It is important to know what to recycle and how to recycle each

product. Segregating our trash is a crucial step t, since we take a
moment to decide what to keep and what to throw away for
good. Here are some of the top items we use every day that can
always be recycled to help save the environment.

 Help save our environment by recycling paper. 

One of the many things that trees can provide us is paper. Right now there is
increasing deforestation as we continue cutting trees for mass production of
paper and other products such as wood. Trees can be replanted, but it takes
years before they become full-grown. There is a need to recycle paper, as we
don’t want the rate of extracting trees to exceed the rate of replacing them. By
recycling a ton of paper up to 17 trees can be conserved. Just imagine how
much we can save if each one of us recycles.
 
Paper can be further separated into groups such as white paper, colored paper,
newspapers and phone directories, magazines and cardboards. Different things
can be made out of paper, from scratch papers to recycled notebooks,
scrapbooks, file storages, and even home decorations. However, there is a limit
to recycling paper as during the recycling process its fibers become shorter,
making the paper weaker and more brittle, but paper can be recycled a handful
of times before this happens.

Help save the environment by recycling plastic. 

Over the years the use of plastics has increased.

The storage containers we use for food,
beverages and other things are now mostly
made out of plastic. We at a point where there is
a need for us not only to recycle plastics, but to
lessen our everyday use of this material. There
is just too much plastic on our planet that does
not decompose. We could save
the environment by fully banning the use of
plastics across the entire world.

Most of the storage containers we use at home
(e.g. bottles, bowls, and boxes) are made out
of plastic. There are different kinds of plastics,
but there are three main types , which are: 

HDPE – opaque bottles 

PVC – transparent bottles, with a seam running
across the base 
PET – transparent bottles, with a hard molded
spot in the center of the base 

Recycling plastics is easy. There are a lot of

DIY housewares we can produce out of
plastics. But, we have to make sure that it is
clean before we decide to use it again.

 Help the environment by recycling glass 
Glass can be recycled endlessly and its quality remains even
after several uses. It can be separated according to color,
which is usually green, brown or clear. Glass is also used by
food and beverage manufacturers for things like jars and
bottles. At home, after consuming the products in these glass
containers, we can use them as small containers for other
items or even use as home decorations such as vases.

In recycling glass we have to be extra careful, because it can cause
harm when it breaks. Gloves can be used for protection in dealing
with glass containers. We have to make sure also that the
containers are clean when we decide to use them again. 
Recycling, aside from being helpful to help the environment, can
also be fun. It is always enjoyable to bring out our creative side.
Just think of ways to change a  certain product or item in order to
use it again. This can gives us a feeling of fulfillment, as we see
ourselves helping the environment in our own special way. We can
always browse for DIY ideas on different tutorial blogs and videos
on the Internet that will help us make recycling fun and easy.
