Would you like to live in a filthy atmosphere or do you prefer to breathe fresh air? You decide. Recycling is collecting, separating, and recreating used materials into new products. Most people do not recycle because they do not have the time, or they're lazy, or they just don’t care about saving the environment period. The United States only recycles about “34.3%” (Municipal Solid waste) of their trash, average trash that one person makes a day is about “4.5” (Major Waste Disposal) pounds that’s a lot. We all should recycle every day because you may never know that might be a valuable resource one day in the future or a new invention or even a new job one day. You may think it's just trash, but it can be that valuable, but no it's trash now but once recycled it's new again and be used to create something new. It does not have to be just paper trash even tho that is one of the biggest things that needs to be recycled but there is metal, glass , paper, and wood you name it, it can be recycled somewhere and used again for something else. What happens after you recycle well it gets broken down and recreated into …show more content…
How you get paid is by how much it weighs and if they are in need of that material that you brung in sometimes they don’t need it as much so it's not worth much, but other days it may be worth a lot because it's in need. It's not always about the money tho it’s about protecting this earth for the greater good of the future, it may even make you feel very proud about yourself just because you know that you just made a small difference in the world. Did you know about “75%” (American Chemistry Council) of the United States recycle their trash, which only means 25% of the country does not that's pretty good. There should still be more people recycling because there is about “ 4
Recycling saves a lot of energy and prevents pollution. It even creates jobs. In an EPA 2016 report, recycling accounted for over 700,000 jobs! On the other side of the
We have all heard the saying reduce, reuse, and recycle from a very young age. But let’s face it, how many of us recycle? The world we live in is slowly filling up with the trash that we throw out every day. One day who knows, we might be living in our own trash and everywhere we look there will be trash. Is this a world where we all want to live in? If not, we need to take steps to prevent the buildup of trash in our landfills and even our oceans. Therefore, recycling needs to be encouraged because it reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, prevents pollution, conserves natural resources, and creates jobs.
In addition to the above recycling benefits, recycling creates jobs that benefit the economy. The more that individuals and businesses participate in recycling the more our planet will give to us. Mother earth is always been kind with us giving fresh water, air, wildlife, and abundant plant life. The minimum we can do is recycle to keep having those beautiful things to survive.
Many people say that recycling is a waste of time or that they just don't have the time.”Yes it’s popular in affluent neighborhoods like Park Slope in Brooklyn and in cities like San Francisco, but residents of Bryon and Houston don't have the same fervor for sorting garbage in their spare time’(“The Reign of Recycling”). The world needs more people to recycle no matter where they live. It seems that even if more people have started recycling things have not changed much.”While it’s true that the recycling message has reached more people than ever, when it come down to the bottom line,both economically and environmentally, not much has changed at all”(“The Reign of Recycling”). People need to work harder to make a change that will account to something. The goals are being set higher and higher but with little success. ”While politicians set higher and higher goals, the national rate of recycling has stagnated in recent years”(“The Reign of Recycling”). This rate has ceased to flow. If something changes how people feel about recycling then the nation may be able to meet its
Have you seen the Pixar film Wall-E? In the opening scene of Wall-E the camera goes over the mountains of garbage. According to the epa 254 million tons of trash is created and only 167 million tons are ending up in landfills. If we don't act upon recycling that's what our world will look like. Recycling is a sensible way to protect our future.
What is recycling and why should we recycle? True recycling is a series of activities by which materials ready to be discarded are instead separated from the waste stream, collected, sorted, processed, and converted into new materials and then used in the production of new products. Recycling is something that needs to be done in every American home to prevent our trash not only from
I’m writing this because of all things that is done throughout the day I think recycling should be one of the easiest.
1) Are you aware of the amount of waste you create each day? I do not believe anyone is completely aware of the amount of waste they generate on a daily basis. It is such a natural action – throw something in the trash – that it is automatic and done without much or any consideration as to where it goes, where it came from, or where will it ultimately go or become. I do recycle and compost when possible, but that too becomes a process that sometime appears moot because products are being made from materials that do not qualify or require special centers for recycling.1 We have become a “use it and throw it away” society.
Recycling is an important thing to do. The average American throws out atleast 4 pounds of trash everyday, and only recycles about a third of that trash. Those pounds all add up to ridiculous ammounts, harming the earth and filling up the landfills very quickly. It may cost money to start up the recycling process, but researchshows that 500 million dollars can be made just by selling recycled materials.
Recycling Is extremely crucial when it comes to protecting and saving the earth. Not only does recycling benefit the people by lowering the pollution and reducing energy, but it also provides jobs and cuts down the amount of waste in landfill sites. Recycling, composting, and reusing creates an abundant amount of green jobs, like in, “2011, the wind energy industry directly employed 75,000 full-time-equivalent employees in a variety of
Texas has about 435 million pieces of litter, that are visible, just in a year - the most common being
Attention Getter: Most of the people present here today probably recycle; some more than others. And probably, most people assume that they are saving natural resources and helping the environment. However, this is not always true.
Attention Getter: According to epa.gov, “Each person in the United States produces an average of 4 pounds of household hazardous waste each year for a total of about 530,000 tons/year.”
Imagine walking down a forest path, feeling the crisp fall breeze, hearing the birds chirping, breathing in the fresh air. The earth's environment is wonderful and as stewards of this plant, it is every human's job to protect and even enhance its beauty. Dumping incinerated garbage into a hole in the Earth is not exactly being a good steward. However, science has developed the technology of recycling, and people should use this blessing as readily as possible. In other words, everyone should recycle, and if they won't do it on their own, recycling should become a requirement. Recycling should be mandatory because it helps minimize pollution, conserve energy, preserve natural resources, and create jobs.
We should all be living in a clean world and that is why a large part of the society recycles.
