We have only one Environment - Let's cherish it
We have only one environment - it is more polluted now than it was at any other time in human memory. We owe it to ourselves and our kids to get it RIGHT this time.
Environmental Importance
We have only one shot. Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.

Reduce Energy Consumption benefits our Environment
Recycling items often uses less energy than manufacturing products from virgin sources. Making paper that is using recycled pulp, for instance, is much less energy intensive than using new wood. While there are benefits to growing trees because of the carbon that they consume, this has to be offset against the damage that is done to the environment by putting paper in landfills and using energy to produce new items. Recycling just one plastic bottle will save enough energy to power a 60 watt light bulb for three hours!
Decrease Pollution
Waste in landfills emit gases as it rots. This can pollute the environment. Anyone who has passed a landfill site during hot weather will be familiar with the smell and flies that can be found near a landfill site. Reducing the items in landfills will help to reduce the pollution that it causes. Recycling products also typically emits less carbon, thus reducing the carbon footprint of a product.
Cost
One other benefit of recycling is that there is often a significant cost savings to be made when using recycled goods. Some people find that they can make money recycling. Recycling leaves and grass, for instance, is a great way to make compost. Using home made compost is obviously a lot cheaper than buying compost and this is a useful way to save money. Saving money through recycling ultimately helps the environment. If we see a real benefit in our pockets then we are more likely to support the recycling cause.
