Why Recycle?
Recycling plays a crucial role in addressing environmental problems caused by human activities. By recycling, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and decrease pollution. Here are the key benefits of recycling:
Reduce Landfill Waste
Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators.
Conserves Natural resources
Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
Saves Energy
Recycling saves energy by reducing the need to collect, transport, and process raw materials.
Decreases Pollution
Recycling reduces pollution by cutting down the need for raw material extraction, refining, and processing, which in turn decreases greenhouse gas emissions and air and water pollutants.
