In last years , the experts have warned humanity of global warming and have offered to improve the potential of recycling . As you all know , recycling is getting the raw material from the product and producing it cheaper . My dream is to promote recycling for a better world .
Research shows that recycling dates back to old times . In Europe , the metal items were used again and again . This method was used especially in times of misery and poverty . For some reasons , in history humanity has resorted to recycling . For example , in 1813 , a British man named Benjamin Law managed to produce raw wool from old clothes in Batley and Yorkshire . After a while , the old clothes industry was set up in the early years of 19th century in England . In the same century , the automotive and steel industries supported recycling . They started to take scrap metals and in the 20th century , the railway companies used scrap metals , as well .
The importance of recycling was understood better in the World War II . The governments wanted people to bring their scraps because of the economic problems and the lack of resources so that they could create extra sources . In some countries , governments told people that it was a civic duty . By increasing the rates of recycling , the governments had a chance in the war . After the war , the governments started to care more about recycling for less waste and cheaper and easier production . They continued to encourage people for recycling .
Since 1970s , with the effects of global warming , the countries have come together and decided to create less carbon releasing and to use a cleaner welding . Since that times , recycling has been seen as an alternative choice .
Today , the experts say that recycling can be a solution for global warming . My dream is this ‘’ It is only possible if humanity works together . The governments should invest in recycling and the experts should work for developing it . As an individual , you can support recycling for energy saving and a better , cleaner future .’’
