Conserving The Environment: The Way To Save Our Environment

Through the years, I have heard it pressed in our brains about “saving the planet”. By helping restore and preserve our environment is the only way to do that. The preservation and restoration of our environment should be something that unites Christians and non-Christians, black and white, and young and old. Christians, specifically, must take a stand and take action to preserve and restore our environment by recycling and forming groups to do things to help our environment. This doesn’t just help our environment, it makes Christians united with each other. Christians have been put in charge to take care of the earth from the beginning of time. When God told Adam and Eve takes care of all of the earth, including the plants, animals, themselves,

Some benefits of recycling: getting a financial income, conserving our limited resources, energy is more efficient, builds community, creates more jobs, builds strong economy, and earth-friendly. By recycling you can get a financial income by turning in some of the recyclables for cash. I know, for example, in my household, we collect all our aluminum cans, when we collect a few garbage bags full of them. We take them to the recycling center, they give us some much money per can that we collected. By recycling, we also conserve our limited resources by collecting paper, plastic, and other recyclables. There are less of our resources being consumed. For instance, if we collect paper. Then, turn in the paper to the recycling center. New paper can be made from the recycled paper, saving more trees from being cut down.

Recycling also creates jobs. There are 36 jobs created in a recycling company, when there is only 6 jobs created in a landfill job. (What is recycling 7 reasons why we should 2008). Recycling builds a strong economy because it takes less money to make items from the reused items than it does from the new items. Lastly, Recycling is earth- friendly because recycling does not make harmful chemicals in the ground, like landfills do by burring the garbage up creating methane gas that could get into our water supply, contaminating it.
