✅Recycling Is Cool!

Some people get recycling confused. Recycling is only things that you can reuse or be made into something new.

A way you can recycle is by recycling water bottles. If you recycle water bottles it prevents plastic from being littered.

Recycling can help reduce the need for raw materials or more consumption of natural resources.

After you recycle, the recycled pieces get brought to a Recycling Center. The recycled items get sorted, inspected, baled, and trucked to mills and planted where the recycled items are made into new items.

Another thing that has something to do with recycling is reusing. Renewable resources can be used again and again. For example, reusable bags, glass jars, etc.

Benefits of recycling is that it conserves our resources and energy. It also protects ecosystems and wildlife from all of the trash being disposed into their habitats. 

There are many different ways/things to recycle. Some of the ways are recycling aluminum, plastic, paper, glass, etc.

Fun fact! Did you know that 1 ton of recycled paper can help save trees, water, and electricity? 

You can also recycle at home! You can use one basket or bucket for trash and one for recycling that way you can separate the trash from recycling!

Recycling can save energy and prevent water pollution. It can also prevent greenhouse gases from being produced. I can also prevent carbon dioxide from entering the air, which can help your body.
