If
you switch on your television, you are most likely to see advertisements which
encourage you to recycle. What does recycling mean? Recycling refers to the
process of transforming waste material into useable resources. In other words, recycling
means collecting used materials which would normally be thrown away. These
materials are then processed into a new products. Most of the item you use each
day such as paper, glass, plastic, and aluminium can be recycled. Everyone
should recycle because there are many benefits of recycling.
Firstly,
recycling can reduces the air pollution. When you recycle paper, glass, plastic
and aluminium, you are actually decreasing the demand of new products made from
these materials. As a result, factories will reduce manufacturing these
products. When fewer products are manufactured, the amount of toxic released
into the air is subsequently reduced. Therefore, air pollution is lessened.
Secondly,
recycling saves landfill space. Rubbish you discard is taken to landfills where
it is either buried or incinerated. So, if you consistently throw rubbish,
there would not be enough space left at landfills. However, if you recycle the
rubbish, the amount of rubbish will gradually be reduced. This will inevitably
save landfills space.
Thirdly,
recycling can conserves the natural resources. This is because it can reduces
the need for raw materials. For example, if you recycle paper, you do not have
to cut down the trees. If you recycle aluminium tins, you will reduce the need
for mining tin ore. So, natural resources are protected and used sparingly.
Finally,
recycling can saves energy. It takes more energy to create something from
scratch than to recycle it. For instance, it takes more energy to produce paper
than to recycle it. Energy saving is very important because it is one way to
reduce the effects of global warming.
In
conclusion, recycling is a good way to protect our environment. So, we must
play important to get start recycling.
