The Importance
of Recycling
Recycling is the process of making old things usable again.
Recycling is making the environment a cleaner place,
conserving materials, saving energy, and reducing the
amount of garbage in landfill.

Most people take their trash to a dump and dispose of it.
That way it takes years and years for it to decompose. For
example, a glass bottle takes 1 million years to decompose.
A plastic bottle takes 450 years to decompose.
In my opinion about recycling. First of all, recycling saves
trees, and protects wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Also,
recycling reduces the use of toxic chemicals, helps curb
global warming, and reduces water pollution. In addition,
recycling reduces waste products in landfills because
landfills are mostly composed of non- biodegradable waste
which takes long time to decompose. By recycling we can
lessen the waste materials that are placed into landfills,
and we are able to make the most out of these materials.
Finally, recycling creates jobs and promotes economic
development.
In my opinion, recycling is very important. It saves our
natural resources, saves energy that it takes to make new
products, cuts downs on the pollution and saves landfill
space.
