Benefits of Recycling

Have you ever wondered what you can do to help your community environment? Well, have I got news for you!! RECYCLE!! When you recycle you can reduce the trash that populates and pollutes the community. If you recycle it can help the world on its fight against global warming. Every effort counts and just by you recycling that small, plastic water bottle you can help so much.

Did you know that 38 billion water bottles go to the landfills every year and that does not include soda bottles?

When you recycle that is less waste in the landfills that can be washed into streams, that empty into rivers, and then eventually flow into the ocean to suffocate some poor defenseless fish. When you recycle it conserves our natural resources that are running out. Just recycling one thing and day can help sustain the environment for generations to come.
