Some people say recycling is a waste of time. If one is a very busy person, then maybe. But taking that extra two seconds to recycle, saving energy, money, resources, and the world isn’t a bad plan either. If everyone would take the extra two seconds to recycle, the extra effort would help to make the world would be a much cleaner and more efficient place. Recycling could also help to lower taxes in the long run. Recycled materials have value, and trash costs money. A city recycling program could sell it and make money. Then, with the extra money, the city wouldn’t have to charge as much money on taxes. Now how does those two extra seconds sound now? One can better the place they live in and save some money by taking two extra seconds to recycle.
Purpose: The main objective for my presentation is to show the audience what recycling is and how we can cut down on landfills.
The benefits for recycling are the down going cost and/or the purest quality of bottles, cans, plastic, iron, water, paper, air, vegetables, meat, fruit, spoilage, alcohol, cigarettes, all kinds of minerals, your everyday life, your very own and family’s health, and so on. You would never expect some list like that without thinking about your environment deeply, right? Generally, recycling is an effective way for anyone to prevent pollution and the only way to give the Earth time to heal its self from these evil citizens who do not care about the poison they’ve been generating. This process saves energy, reduce toxic, water, and air pollution; as well as giving creatures that aren’t human a fair chance to live in this cruel planet that the world considers successful.
Recycling is important if we want to preserve our planet in the future. It is better for future generations, and is also good for the environment. By reusing products that have already been manufacturer, we can reduce waste and also reduce the use of new materials. When thinking about recycling, one should think about the idea of “reduce, reuse, and recycle”. After years of neglect in caring for our environment, necessary changes have to be made. This will also help to reduce air and water pollution. Recycling could also help to counter the effects of global warning. We not only have to help reduce waste, but we have to alter our way of thinking. If we do not need something, we should not get it. If we do need something, we should try to attain things that can be recycled; whether it be used again ourselves, or recycled by professional services. Conservation is important because if one produces less waste, resources will be saved which will reduce the amount of waste in landfills. One should be more aware of the benefits that recycling has, so that they can reflect on their own way o...
Have you ever wondered what happens to your trash after you put it in the garbage can? Most people do not, after all, sanitation workers remove the garbage and it is never seen again. Martin V. Melosi called this "out-of-site, out-of-mind mentality… as long as someone removed wastes from the immediate range of the senses, the problem was solved."1 As a result, garbage disposal is a service that many take for granted. Yet, waste does not just disappear. It must be stored, buried, or burned somewhere. This disposal process has gone on for hundreds of years since populations produced huge amounts of waste. The continued use of landfills and dumps has caused the perception that there is a garbage crisis.
A very important issue tied to Canada’s future sustainability is that of recycling. There is currently a shortage of suitable landfill spaces in Canada, and the current landfills produce harmful emissions (Statistics Canada, 2008). Using methods to divert as many of these wastes away from landfills will help to slow their growth and improve Canada’s future outlook. Recycling is one such method.
Landfill liners are only 1/10 of an inch thick. That is 1/10 of an inch away from all of that filth and waste spilling onto the ground and polluting the air and land around it. The U.S. has well over 3,090 active landfills. Two of the closest one to New Prague are our very own Lakers Sanitary and a landfill in the town of Lakeville. For many people living here, that is way too close. It is also an uncomfortable feeling knowing that many of these landfills are overflowing and beginning to weigh large amounts. Around five years ago the amount of trash that overfilled our landfills here in America was equal to the weight of more than 88 million million cars. That is near 254 billion pounds of trash and waste. (Brenda Pulley) (“Recycling Facts & Stats - Recycling in General.”). Recycling bins around town is one strong was to reduce that amount of waste sitting there. Many of the items sitting in the landfills are products that are not biodegradable and just sit and slowly decompose releasing gasses in the air that are toxic to human kind(Pullen)(Kukreja). How fun is it knowing that the air around you if filled with toxins? Those toxins can be reduced greatly when we recycle, keeping seventy tons of waste being dumped into the landfills per year.(Sponaugle). With less waste there is in addition way less land needed to hold it there. Recycling can make just a huge difference with
Recycling refers to the process of changing waste stuff into new products, with a focus on preventing waste into potentially useful materials, reducing energy usage, reducing water and air pollution, lower emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as reducing the use of unexploited raw materials. Recycling is a main component of modern waste management, and also a 3rd component of the recycle, reuse, and reduce waste hierarchy. In addition, there are various ISO standards that relate to recycling, including ISO 15270:2008 that regards to the plastic waste, as well as ISO 14001:2004 that regards to the environment management control through recycling practices (Morgan 109). Recycling materials include water, glass, metal, paper, textiles, electronics, as well as plastics. Although it is similar in effect, the reuse or composting of biodegradable waste, like the garden and food wastes, is also considered as recycling. The materials used for recycling are either collected from the curbside or brought to collection centers, on which they are subsequently sorted, refined, and reprocessed into useful materials aimed for manufacturing.
First of all, it costs way too much.Did you know that recycling costs almost double the amount of money it takes just to make it again? Well, it does, and Recycling, What a Waste of Time, says, “ I know that the cost of recycling exceeds its benefit. This is the simple result of the observation that recycling does not return a financial profit.” This is because of many things. Now, people
We should recycle because by leaving trash in landfill sites leads to greenhouse gasses and harmful chemicals hurting both people and then environment. According to Anopchenko, T. Y., Murzin, A. D., Kandrashina, E. A., Kosyakova, I. V., and Surnina, (2016) living in an environment that is greatly polluted incredibly increases health risks. The article “Environmental Risk to Health of the Population. International Journal Of Environmental And Science Education” (2016) by them says “the polluted environment is one of the important factors defining changes of a state of health of the population” (para, 2.). This is a problem because the more waste in landfills or raw materials made into containers release toxic chemicals into the air that are severely affecting how people live. Being able to go inside from the pollution is one thing but animals are not in easy access to get out of polluted areas. Recycling can reduce
Trash burning plants and landfills contribute to pollution. By focusing on recycling, reusing and composting, the need for trash burning plants and landfills will be eliminated and therefore the level of pollution will be reduced. Public health also can be improved, by eliminating trash burning sites and landfills and reducing the potential spread of disease. Landfills are not safe locations, so the general safety of the population also should be improved. By eliminating the need for landfills, more land will be available for positive use. Recycling plants will be needed as well as locations to share no longer wanted items to be reused by others. Composting can be done on a local level and even completed on one’s property if room exists. The proposed waste solution will have a positive impact on our city and the benefits far outweigh the
In conclusion revisiting recycling has been a great experience. Recycling is very important for the earth and clean air. We need to continue to do our part in protect the environment and making sure that landfills decrease instead of increasing and that are properly maintained. Recycling is very important for earth. Many companies are on broad with recycling doing their part to help decrease waste.
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.
Our world is getting to the point to where we will be surrounded by trash. There are hazards happening because of the excess trash, which could have been recycled. Although the government is not doing their best to make these hazards stop, surprisingly it is the non-governed organizations that are trying to make the difference. Proven studies and facts have been made about these issues, so people should take this into consideration and start recycling more. Recycling is a beneficial process that is not required globally like it should be because citizens are uneducated on the process and what it can do. People who are not recycling do not know the hazards they are causing everywhere.
Recycling is one of the easiest and best ways for people to help the environment. More people need to recognize and take recycling seriously, because it can prolong the survival of humanity on Earth. The basic concept of recycling is the process of converting used materials or waste into reusable material for production. It is essential that people start realizing that recycling is necessary now, and going to be more necessary in the future because of the new, higher quality lifestyles people are living. With more people becoming wealthier, more products are being consumed, and as a result more waste is being produced. In addition, the world's increasing population also increases the number of products that could become potential waste (“Recycling is Important”). Both of these factors of a higher quality of life and increased population are continuing to contribute to the increasing amounts of waste being produced on Earth. This is important to understand because these factors are going to happen inevitably, which is why recycling will be an absolute necessity in the future. There are many benefits that come from recycling. It can range from helping the environment to preserving the planet's scarce resources. An interesting statistic about how recycling is beneficial to the environment is that “Recycled aluminum cans results in energy savings of 92%; recycled mixed plastic, 87%; recycled steel cans, 63%; recycled newspaper, 45%; and recycled glass, 34%” (Carper). If these five different materials can make this kind of positive impact on energy savings, then consider all the other kinds of recyclable materials that could have a better impact on the environment. If anything that is considered to be recyclable is recycled, then many ...
