I recycle because I believe that it is our duty to reuse what we use in the environment in order to preserve our world.

Over 75% of waste is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it.

Where is the majority of trash actually recycled

Adam Gerard

I recycle every week or twice a week for no money. But it also has saved money because we are no longer paying for garbage to be picked up.

Around 30$ a month is spent per house on trash collection.

Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4000 kilowatt hours of electricity. This is enough energy to power the average American home for 5 months.

Over 75% of waste is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it.
Americans throw away 25,000,000 plastic bottles every hour.
If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we could save about 25 million trees each year.

I recycle soda cans because it is good for the environment.

- On average, 10-15% of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging, which ultimately ends up as garbage.

- Up to 80% of a vehicle can be recycled.

- It costs about $30 per ton to recycle garbage, $50 to transport it to a landfill, and $70 to incinerate it.

- Recycling creates 1.1 million U.S. jobs and $37 billion in annual payrolls.

- The average household throws away 13,000 pieces of paper every year which is mostly junk mail and packaging.

- Yard trimmings make up 20% of the solid waste in US. Less than one quarter of this amount is recovered for composting.

Waste disposal has been around for many years. The waste disposal comes in two main types: source reduction and recycling.

Waste of energy has always been a bad habit for humans. We never use resources to their full potential status.

From the reading I realized that we as humans show no signs of care for our earth and we need to start caring! Mercia
