“When you recycle, you make the air cleaner and the water fresher for everyone on the planet.”  –Statement by recycling expert Buckley “Buck” Knox:

            Garbage everywhere…. pollution all over the place… problem on garbage disposal….no landfills for the garbages.  These are the problems that our country is facing for more than a decade. The problem in the proper waste disposal is  rampant in every   regions. The government is trying to solve the problem but  it seems no solutions arrive.  Here are some important  tips to help lessen the problem. Reduce….Re-use…….Recylce.

           

Why recycling is important:

Saves natural resources: By making products from recycled materials instead of new materials, we save trees and reduce the need to dig for minerals.

Saves energy: It takes less energy to make products from recycled materials than from new materials.

Saves clean air and water: Making containers and products from recycled materials reduces acid rain, air pollution and global warming.

Saves landfill space: When recycled materials go into new products, they don’t go into landfills, so landfill space is saved. Also, it reduces fees that companies have to pay to dump trash in the landfill.

Saves money and creates jobs: Recycling is often the cheapest way for cities to get rid of their waste. And the recycling process creates far more jobs than operating landfills or incinerators.
