...the world’s garbage, states the Recycling Coalition of Utah. Recycling is defined as the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. Recycling can make such a big impact on the environment. According to BYU Idaho University Operations, if every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year. They also state that Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour, most of which get thrown away! People should seriously start recycling because it reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, and helps sustain the environment for future generations. On one hand, many people...

...Why Is Recycling So Important Environmental Sciences Essay Recycling is a process of using waste materials into new products to prevent wastage of useful materials, reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce usage of energy, and reduces mainly land pollution and water pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal. Recycling is a key component of reducing modern waste and is the third component of the 3R concepts that are "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle “A. The recycling symbol is recognized symbol used to designate recyclable materials internationally. It is composed of three chasing arrows that form an unending loop.

For example, more and more vehicle manufacturers are designing more fuel efficient vehicles that are able to operate using only recyclable elements. This is just one way that an individual can save money. It is so very important to do everything that you can do to to save our Earth and it all starts in the beginning of the cycle, which starts the recycling process. Everyone should be more aware about all the products that can be recycled because it's only helping our world. In this world we are a team. They help & encourage others to rise all together. So why not encourage people to help the world out more? Recycling is a giant part of keeping our world clean. It is taking a greater importance as they seek a way to build a more healthy future. One of my friends has a sister who is dental assistant and when I brought up the topic of recycling she told me that they do not recycle very much. She also explained to me that a dental office can be very wasteful. Dental offices don't recycle much. And when they do it's mostly aluminum cans, paper, and amalgam scraps that are left over from patient office procedures. I asked her if she recycled at home, and she said that she did sometimes, but most of the items that got recycled were aluminum cans. She thanked me for bringing up the awareness of recycling and how important it is. Just talking about recycling to others is influencing. In...

...The City of Chicago has open its doors by implementing a recycling program that resident’s can be a part of. Their contribution will help to improve the quality of Chicago’s environment and shine a light on the benefits of recycling. Residents of Chicago who participate in the blue cart recycling program understand the importance behind the recycling initiative. To improve the environment and protect natural resources, residents must change their habits and adjust to new methods of disposing household waste. Through education and participation families will benefit from recycling. More importantly, families will experience a sense of contribution. Households will develop a routine and as time goes on, recycling for most people will become second nature. Thankfully, Chicagoans all across the city are experiencing the benefits of recycling for the first time. Although recycling is beneficial for the environment, the advantages for Chicago residents are clean neighborhoods, community programs, and infrastructure projects. The citywide recycling campaign is taking place in stages for the City of Chicago residents. By 2013, City Hall has grown the blue cart recycling program to seven communities serving over 600,000 homes. “This recycling and education program affirms Mayor Emanuel’s commitment to create a healthier and more sustainable Chicago.” (2013). In the first place, residents received information through the mail on how and when the service is available in their neighborhood...

...diminishing the amount of trash and garbage that we produce each year. One easy way of doing that is by a method called recycling. Many might not know the importance of recycling and what it can do to our environment. While recycling has become part of the daily routine for many people, the full importance of recycling is not always understood. In general, people do understand that recycling helps to minimize the drain on the limited resources of our planet. However, there are several other factors that make recycling important which will be discussed in this paper. Although recycling may seem like a modern concept introduced with the environmental movement of the 1970s, it's actually been around for thousands of years. Prior to the industrial age, you couldn't make goods quickly and cheaply, so virtually everyone practiced recycling in some form. However, large-scale recycling programs were very rare -- households predominantly practiced recycling. The mass production of the industrial age is, in many ways, the very reason we need to worry about large-scale recycling. When products can be produced (and purchased) very cheaply, it often makes more economic sense to simply throw away old items and purchase brand new ones. However, this culture of "disposable" goods created a number of environmental problems. In the 1930s and 40s, conservation and recycling became important in American society and in many other parts of the world. Economic depressions...

...3/31/16 The Importance of Recycling Have you ever wonder what can you do about the bottles and cans you find around you? People that doesn’t care about the world being clean is littering the place. It makes things very difficult to put up for. Recycling cans and bottles can help save the earth form waste and trash buildup and can make new things. I think that recycling should be mandatory and there should be recycling cans in various locations at school and everywhere else. One reason is that recycling can help save the earth from waste and trash build-up. For example, fifty percent of roofing and construction on houses is made from recycled aluminum cans. Using recycled materials to produce new products costs less money and less energy than new materials. It can also save valuable landfill space. People have trash every day. Pretty much anything is recyclable. If you throw them away, it’s a waste of natural resources, a waste of energy, and a waste of money. Instead people should take the time collect these things and put some effort into helping in the world we live in. If you are desperately trying to find a way to make money, recycling can solve that problem. You’ll be paid back for the effort. You can earn money from recycling. Many recycling centers pay CRV for cans and bottles. Many people wouldn’t want to miss out on a moneymaking opportunity. It’s a good way of fundraising, too. Most importantly, it saves lives. We should all learn the importance of recycling. For...

... my friend and I noticed that there were no recycling bins in our school. We thought it was ridiculous that the school was not recycling despite the ability to do so. We decided to create Project Green. The focus of the club is to get the school to recycle and encourage “going green.” As the club’s vice president, I help educate my fellow classmates on the importance of preserving the environment. We also hold meetings to share ideas with other environmental clubs. One meeting occurred at NJIT where we met with professionals to learn more efficient methods of recycling. Last spring, our club went to the elementary schools to educate younger children on the value of recycling. This year we hope to expand the club to other high schools. I am passionate about protecting the earth and hope to join or start an environmental club in college. During sophomore year, my friend and I noticed that there were no recycling bins in our school.

...the web, he does to himself.” This statement illustrates the importance of taking care of the earth, not merely to avoid global warming, but to preserve the natural balance of the planet. Some of the most pressing problems are the destruction of natural habitats, the depletion of natural resources, and the polluting of rivers, lakes, and oceans. One idea now debated is whether or not the government should require communities to participate in recycling programs. Although some argue that individual communities are free to choose if they take part, many people believe that due to the interconnectedness of the planet, governments have an obligation to encourage and require communities to participate in the recycling effort. Some overly optimistic people contend that natural resources are for the most part replaceable, such as trees, or too abundant to worry about, such as oil. However, the fact is that currently trees are being cut down faster than it is possible to repopulate the forests. Furthermore, water is a finite resource that is polluted from oil refining and the creation of many modern products, for example plastic. In fact water shortages and water pollution are both problems affecting most every country around the world. Certainly, without clean, fresh water, life would not be possible. Some people assert that it is too difficult or complicated for citizens to recycle. However, logistically recycling requires only a separate trash bin for tossing in plastic, glass...

...Recycling Nature The concept of “reduce, reuse, and recycle” is gaining popularity among the business community. The increasing focus on recycling over the last decade may have created a perception among many people that the concept of recycling is man-made. However, people and businesses may increase their recycling if they realize that recycling is common in nature. Some natural recycling is obvious to humans. Fallen tree leaves decompose and create a richer soil for other plants. Bacteria and fungi are food sources for worms and insects, which in turn are food for animals. Microbes break down organic materials and create the basic elements of soil. Earthworms create tunnels that let air and water into the ground. Lichens emit chemicals that break down rocks and wood. Holiday trees recycled in the woods create shelter for small animals; those deposited in lakes or reservoirs become habitat for fish, or they can be chopped and turned into mulch. Most people are familiar with composting, where food waste is saved and used as fertilizer for gardens. The entire food chain could be said to rely on various forms of recycling. Water is also recycled in nature. This is known as the water cycle. Water on earth evaporates into the atmosphere from the heat of the sun and from rain and snow. Air currents move that atmospheric water, creating clouds, which move around the globe and create precipitation. "When precipitation falls over the land surface, it follows various routes. Some of...

...environmental ethics that rely on awareness, faith, and care. The specific actions Christians should take regarding the environment and its preservation are recycling plastic, paper, preserving the wildlife, and conserving water and energy. If Christians do their individual part then it will affect the entire global community. The term “going green” should be the outline for the awareness on environmental issues. Starting a recycling bin, cutting back on water usage, and turning off the power when not used are good ways to use your “green” thumb. Christianity and the Scriptures alone provide the basis for a correct view of nature and man’s relationship with the environment. Protecting the environment is not the only cause of Christ, but it is certainly not our calling to plunder the earthly home that God has created for us. Genesis 1:29-30 states “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for meat. And to everything that creepth upon the earth where there is life. I have given every green herb for meat”. (First book of Moses) Christians can preserve the environment by recycling paper and plastic. There are many benefits to recycling and how it can help the environment. Some items are bio-degradable and can’t be broken down...

...human product. From our newspapers to our paper wrappings, paper is still everywhere and most of them are ending up in our landfills creating a staggering amount of paper waste. There was a time when paper was a rare and precious commodity. Now it fills out planet. It was initially invented as a tool for communication, but today, paper is used more for packaging. To produce paper takes twice the energy used to produce a plastic bag. (Wikipedia: Environmental Impact of Paper) Have the things listed below ever crossed your mind? If not, let us share with you these interesting paper waste facts. We are so used to seeing products in their completed form that we seldom think of how they are made and what happens after we dispose of them. • Recycling 1 ton of paper saves around 682.5 gallons of oil, 26,500 liters of water and 17 trees. (www.id2.ca/downloads/eco-design-paper-facts.pdf) • 324 liters of water is used to make 1 kilogram of paper. (www.id2.ca/downloads/eco-design-paper-facts.pdf) • Lessening of paper waste usage was predicted due to the electronic revolution. It didn’t happen. Demand for paper is expected to double before 2030. (http://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Paper-Waste-Facts) • 93% of paper comes from trees.
