Today in society, many citizens do not realize the importance of saving our environment. The only way to keep our world alive is for us humans to make an effort to save our planet. If we recycle, we will be saving our world and preserving our living environment.
Recycling keeps our planet healthy and clean and if we keep recycling, out planet will survive longer. “Seattle now recycles 44 percent of its trash compared with the national average of around 30 percent which makes it a major player in big-city waste recovery” says Michael Kennedy of the New York Times. At this rate, we will be saving our world and making an enormous difference. Every time we recycle a ton of paper, we will be saving 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 yards of landfill space, 7,000 gallons of water and electricity to light a house for 6 months.
If we do not try to recycle and try not to make an effort in saving our planet, our precious planet as we know it will slowly fade away. “In many other parts of the country, recycling is in the doldrums — and in some cases backsliding — despite the sounding of environmental alarms about global warming and shrinking resource” states, Kennedy of the New York Times. Without recycling, not only will our living environment be polluted but prices of food, gas, and much more will be raised to an extremely high amount of money. “The thing I want to emphasize is the vast difference between recycling for the purpose of feeling good and recycling for the purpose of solving the trash problem” states Barry Commoner. The build up of trash will become an enormous consequence to the world if we do not help out our environment and recycle.
By recycling, you will be making a positive impact to our planet Earth. Recycling can only make our future cleaner, healthier, and longer. Make a change, go recycle.
