In other words, it is good for the environment. Since we are saving resources and are sending less trash to the landfills, it helps in reducing air and water pollution.

1. Reduce pollution : The more you recycle old products the less you will require the need of buying new products. As a result there will be energy saving. Reduction in the harmful gasses will not only help in cleaning the environment but will also clean the air we breathe. The more clean air we breathe the more positive impact it will have on our life.

2. Reduction in Landfills :Size of the landfills can be significantly reduced if we reduce our daily waste and recycle more. If we don’t recycle the product the landfills site will become more common around the city which will certainly affect wildlife and environment. So to reduce it we must recycle as much as we can. 3. Conservation of materials : All the new products are made from the raw materials which are procured from harvesting the earth’s natural resources. for e.g.: you need wood to make paper and wooden products. If more trees are cut down to make such products it will affect wildlife and environment in a significant way. This can be reduced if recycle more and more paper and rely less on new products. 4. Save Energy : When there will be less demand for new products then of course less products will be produced which will help in saving the energy. Conservation of energy is the key element for the fight against climate change. 5. Save Money : When you will recycle old products and have less dependency on new products the obviously you will end up in saving some money. That money can then be used for some other purposes. When recycling is done on large scale the money saved can have huge impact on your monthly expenditure. - Based on http://www.conserve-energy-future.com/Why_Should_We_Recycle.php#sthash.Bpd4JsYN.dpuf

1. “Recycling saves energy.”
Recycling saves energy because the manufacturer doesn’t have to produce something new from raw natural resources. By using recycled materials we save on energy consumption, which keeps production costs down.

2. “Recycling reduces landfills.”
Recycling reduces the need for more landfills. No one wants to live next to a landfill.

3. “Recycling preserves our resources and protects wildlife.”
By recycling, we reduce the need to destroy habitats for animals. Paper recycling alone saves millions of trees.

4. “Recycling is good for the economy.”
Recycling and purchasing recycled products creates a greater demand for more recycled goods. Goods made from recycled materials use less water, creates less pollution and uses less energy.

5. “Recycling helps our climate problems.”
Recycling produces considerably less carbon, which reduces the amount of unhealthy greenhouse gas omissions.

Why should people be fined for not recycling?What did they do wrong?They didn't litter or anything harmful to the environment.

So what makes them said that?Is it because of they people who said this thought that if we do not recycle,it would harm the environment.

We all know that plastics and other materials have very long decomposition and the harmful chemicals could harm the surroundings.It only apply if someone litter

and not throw the rubbish in the dustbin.

Based on my experience,there is a large blue recycling bin that separates plastics,metal and paper and people,my neighbors,often put their unwanted things in that.

So we can just try out best not to litter.

Recycling is you all know convert waste into reusable material,just imagine does everyone of us want to have a useless bad quality things in our home?Obviously,no so

recycle is one of them and maybe that is why people are not recycling or they don't have time to recycle.

-That was just my opinions and some facts inside.

"The Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) recently released the Household Recycling Study, which was conducted from Aug 2012 to Jan 2013, involving a nationwide survey of 2,500 respondents and 5 focus group discussions of 10 participants each. The study was done to understand the state of household recycling in Singapore and the factors that hinder or motivate recycling."

The survey is in this link and the above quote is in this website, http://www.zerowastesg.com/2013/12/07/household-recycling-study-summary/ Date accessed:26 March 2015 . According to this study made by them,some people do recycle.

So in the end it is up to the people if they want to recycle or not as long they do not litter because litter is,to me,is the worse than not recycle.We can't force them to recycle but encourage them to play a part to help and protect our environment.Hence,people should not be fined for not recycling.

-AGREE-

People should be fined for not recycling.It is because if they won't or don't recycle,it could actually contribute the destruction of our environment even if it is minute.

Recycle waste into reusable product could be an alternative to some things in our house.The people could at least use unused shoe box to make that as container,I did that for my cards and gaming related stuff to put in it and my my money to buy a container.Usually,to me ,buying a good container is quite expensive but still affordable though.
