Why We Recycle
While issues like global warming, loss of rain forests, hazardous waste, and our waste disposal crisis may seem huge and out of our control, there are some things that individuals can control. Waste reduction and recycling efforts can make a difference.
By recycling about 30% of our waste every year, Americans save the equivalent of 11.9 billion gallons of gasoline and reduce the greenhouse gas equivalent of taking 25 million cars off the road.

Why Is It Important?
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites.
Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.
REASONS WHY WE SHOULD RECYCLE
- Recycling keeps trash out of the landfill
- Recycling reduces our need for new raw materials
- Recycling conserves energy
- Recycling creates jobs
- Recycling reduces pollution
