HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO RECYCLE?
Clara-Poland
Recycling is essential, it decreases waste,
allows materials to be reused and helps the
environment. With all these benefits, it‟s hard
to believe that some people don‟t recycle!
Sometimes people just need an extra push to
encourage them to start.
Many everyday products are recyclable, but
very little waste actually gets recycled. Only
13% of municipal solid waste is recycled
globally. Part of the problem is that people put
things in the trash that could go in the
recycling bin. One way to get people to
recycle more may be encouraging them to
imagine a new life for their trash.
If we want to get people recycle more, we
should be more involved. If each of us takes
care of our rubbish and no one else has to do it
for us, then it will naturally cost us less in the
future. If we want to convince those who do
not, it is not a higher price, but education and
promotion.

PLANT A TREE: Research workers from Zurich
university have calculated that we could plant trees
on an additional 900 million hectares, in addition to
the current 2.8 billion hectares. This would capture
205 gigatons of carbon out of the 300 gigatons that
have been added to the atmosphere since the start
of the industrial period
