Recycling
If we recycle we could help and save the world. You could save the world and your town by recycling and it will help because where you live won’t be messy/destroyed.And another thing that will help us is if we recycle we can save the trees and the recycling company can hold the things you recycled until the curbside company comes and picks it up and then they clean the materials off and then they make new products out of them. So recycle!!!
One reason that we should recycle is that so the curbside company can make new products. To begin with, my first piece of evidence is saying that recycling is believed to be a process that breaks down the material and the materials are

The next opposing evidence is that they will recycle if they get paid because they say that they are bringing their things in for the company to use.According to the article “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. Finally the last opposing evidence is that “Daniel Benjaman” claims that not recycling saves money because the Curbside company cost 55 percent higher than the landfill option. The McKinstry Company,a mechanical located in seattle saves $4,800 per year recycling mixed paper and cardboard,and an additional $40,000 annually selling scrap

As people living on the earth, its is very easy to recycle. It’s so easy that all you have to do is set your recycling bin outside for the weekly curbside pickup. However, there are also places you can go and take everything you wish to recycle and the recycling plant will even pay for your recycling. However it is not as convenient if you are not taking large amounts and just taking your weekly recycling supplies. A majority of items that are produced can always be recycled and used again. It is extremely easy for anyone to recycle and help the Earth.
Recycling has been the environmental crusade to reducing the human footprint, with it’s spotlight shining down on in recent years. It was the noblest of causes, recycling being a great idea for the environment and society; but it is being handled poorly. Its modern descendant has turned into a corporate scheme with recycling becoming a business, instead of being about the environment because marketers are using environmentalism as a excuse for overconsumption, recycling products are only being recycled for profit, and cities & big business use inflated numbers to attain media attention. Let’s now take a look at the bread and butter of
Because we are a generation centered on convenience, so many people prefer to choose the path of least resistance. If something seems troublesome, they may feel they don’t have the time or energy to follow through. Consequently, recycling needs to be more convenient than throwing recyclables away. For example, there should never be a garbage can without a recycling bin next to it. This should be common sense. However, far too often this scenario is evident in high traffic
I am going to persuade you that recycling should be required because it is very dangerous to not recycle. If more people started to recycle, it would reduce the pollution in the air or as some people call it smog. The way this works is by cleaning the air we breathe by not having to burn the extra plastics, papers, and cardboard people did not recycle. Almost all the things we buy are all made in factories, which creates pollution. If there were less factories, less pollution is created.
Audience Relevance: Recycling is something most people choose to ignore. Recycling helps the world by reusing trash to make new products. As a result, this helps reduce the amount of trash that rot in landfills and pollution.
Recycling has many benefits not only for the environment, but for the city as well. Financially, it will bring in millions for the city, as it did for Phoenix, Arizona. As the saying goes, "you have to spend money to make money." Everyone in the city does not have money to spend on recycling bins. In order to recycle properly, you must have the right bins for whatever it is you are recycling. Paper must go with paper in the blue bin, etc. If everything is not in order then you would be
Recycling is an important thing to do. The average American throws out atleast 4 pounds of trash everyday, and only recycles about a third of that trash. Those pounds all add up to ridiculous ammounts, harming the earth and filling up the landfills very quickly. It may cost money to start up the recycling process, but researchshows that 500 million dollars can be made just by selling recycled materials.
There is also an incentive to recycle for monetary gain as well. For example, Phoenix, Arizona made over 500 million dollars selling their recyclables to the private sector. Not to mention the tax breaks from the federal and state government for installing a recycling program. It helps the city's budget while making the planet a cleaner and safer place to life in. It really is one of those rare
Much has been said about recycling; however much of it is myth rather than fact. Much of this myth has been created by the recycling industry that has flourished recently. According to one professor, the recycling business in the United States has exploded, growing from $4.6 billion in annual sales in 1968 to $236 billion in sales in 2008 (Bradley). This means that since the Mobro 4000, the recycling industry’s sales have increased by just over 5,100%. This growth has given them influence over other industries as well as politics to encourage recycling in communities. This has led some communities, like New York City, to begin
When one hears the word recycle, they imagine an image of a trashcan with green arrows. One may think that throwing plastic and paper products into a bin will save the planet. Not many know the process of what happens behind the scenes. Others are unaware of its effects on America. There exists proof that its lasting effects are beneficial. This may sound too good to be true and there are many questions asked. How does recycling work, and what are its effects on the American people today? These questions address the process of recycling, the pros versus cons of its cost, and its environmental impact in America.
Good Morning everyone, i'm here today to address the situations regarding recycling. There is much debate as to if it is truly beneficial to recycle, some see it as a waste of time gathering resources and money in gas to take it to recycling centers. If local governments gave you the opportunity to recycle by providing recycling bins would you take advantage? If you said no, there are plenty of reasons as to why you should say yes, starting with economic benefits. By 2025 it is estimated that the U.S will save over 850 billion dollars(BIR President Ranjit Baxi). Big businesses such as Apple are already on board with recycling, this year alone they have made 40 million in recycled devices (Environmental Responsibility Report). Other benefits include environment. Some disclaimers believe that landfill spaces will not fill up anytime soon and that they are not harmful to the environment, on the other hand why should we wait until it becomes a problem to fix our landfills? If we can stop the problem at its source there is no reason not to recycle as it positively affects everyone.
There are many good reasons the recycle many of them have to do with the heath and cleanliness of our environment
Recycling is a very expensive program. To get people to sort out the trash, getting trucks around, and using water to clean the trash is all very costly. A well-run curbside recycling program can cost anywhere to $50 dollars to more than $150 per ton. Much of the recycling gets dumped into landfills after it is picked up by recycling trucks. 55% of all recycling materials gets dumped into landfills, and only 33% gets recycled. The rest of the recyclables goes into incinerators. Recycling still puts carbon emissions into the air while the recycling process
People Need to Recycle In the United Sates, where the population is inflated every year. The amount of space for landfills decreases every day. The need for recycling should not be asked, it should just be done out of habit. Everyone in America needs to recycle, to help the lamdfill problem, help the environment, and help produce new products from recycled goods. In America there is about two-hundred and eight tons of residential and commercial trash generated a year, 4.3 pounds per person a day (Prichard 1A). This is an overwhelming amount of trashed produced yearly. When people recycle this number can be drastically cut. But many people do not practice and use
“Why should I even recycle?”, is far too common of a statement is the 21st century. As a culture we have industrialized our lives, and with this industrialization we have created a lot of waste. During the 20th century, people were too excited about the innovation of paper plates and plastic utensils that they did not stop to think, “I wonder if this is okay for our environment?” Well, after years of society promoting convenience instead of sustainability, we have produced a mass amount of waste. The amount of trash produced in the world yearly has been tripled since 1960. I think some people forget that matter can not be created nor destroyed, and a styrofoam cup can take millions of years to decompose. Humans of our modern society throw their garbage away as if it disappears once it hits the can. Yet, that is not the case at all. Trash is merely relocated to be rejoined with more trash. These massive piles of waste sit at dumps for years hardly beginning to decompose because of the environment they are immersed in. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an ocean gyre containing vast amounts of debris, and it is estimated to be the size of the continental U.S.. Americans produce trash at about 4.6 pounds a day per person. Some recycling is picked out from landfills, but most is left to be dealt with by other processes. Trash that is not recycled, composted, or burned is buried in landfills. The process of decomposition of trash in landfills takes hundreds of years to complete.
