Every day, people throw out unwanted items from their homes. Miscellaneous items like bottles, old newspapers, and even glass are thrown out and eventually go into landfills. There has been so much trash over the last few decades that it is changing and harming many environments. Wherever someone travels to, the individual may see trash cluttering neighborhoods, cities, and even reservoirs. Recycling should be mandatory for all cities so that many forms of life can live in a healthy environment.
What is recycling and why should people care about it? When people recycling, waste products such as plastic and glass that are not used anymore are turned into new products (Kukreja n.p.). “Each person creates about 4.7 pounds of waste every single day” (Kukreja n.p.). With all of the waste being produced and not recycled may result in air and water pollution making an environment unhealthy Recycling will not only help to decrease air and water pollution, but will save money in the economy. The goal of recycling is to make a sustainable environment for everything to live in.
There are all kinds of pollution, but the main types people encounter are water and air pollution. They are both caused by the same physical effect from people not throwing away trash properly. Air is polluted by all kinds of chemicals through the industry. According to National Geographic “Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is the main pollutant that is warming Earth. Carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a
The most common form of pollution is the burning of fossil fuels. Charging a phone is one example. You gain the electricity you need from power plants and the most common power plants are that of the coal burning types which lead to major air pollution. Burning coal releases massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere which in turn accounts for more greenhouse gases being
Recycling is the process of making new products from a product that has originally served its purpose. The process of recycling starts when used products are disposed in an appropriate, environmentally friendly way. Items made from materials such as paper, tin cans, aluminum cans, plastic water bottles, and glass, which people use in everyday life, can be separated from regular trash and put in an appropriate recycling bin. The United States now realizes the importance of recycling. However, many ignorant people still think separating recyclables requires too much work. Requiring mandatory recycling would prod these individuals into action. Lack of recycling leads to dramatic consequences such as polluting the environment and raising the number of landfills. Delay is critical; time plays a significant role in waste management. The sooner American communities recycle properly the better it will be for the environment and our surroundings. People need to become conscious and take responsibility as a society to protect the earth, keep it clean and beautiful, and preserve the natural resources. The United States can achieve this goal by implementing mandatory recycling.
Recycling is a very essential and crucial process in our world today. The term recycling means that waste can be converted into new products instead of being discarded. As the population continues to grow, humans are using more and more products. In order to reduce the amount of waste on planet Earth, and to preserve its resources, recycling is significant. Not only does recycling allow the environment to thrive, but it also allows living people to thrive as well. There are many materials that can be recycled. Plastics, electronics, aluminum, food and glass are only but a few products that can be recycled. Recycling can benefit our environment in numerous amount of ways. However, without recycling, negative impacts on our environment can occur. Some of these effects include pollution whether it is air, land or sea, depletion of natural resources and even an increase threat to global warming. Therefore, recycling is extremely important to sustain our environment.
Imagine a world cluttered with trash, once beautiful beaches and parks now overflowing with garbage. Roads no longer driveable, air no longer clean. Masks will be worn, and disease is on the rise. Now, imagine if you could have prevented this. I believe recycling is the first step. As of 2006 America is in the lead for producing the most waste, producing 236 million tons annually. Not only are we producing the most waste but by 2100 scientists estimate the amount will triple which will have serious effects on the Earth. Both physical effects and fiscal which means public services and government budgets will be impacted. Our planet is already feeling the effects of pollution at the rate we're going we won't be able to stop the damage nor repair
Recycling is reusing materials like paper, plastics, and glass, breaking them down and turning them into a new product. This way no materials get wasted and not as many resources are used up for new products. There are many ways to dispose of waste, in this case plastics; incineration, landfilling, biodegradation and recycling. Incineration is effective however creates negative environmental risks and health risks by releasing different harmful gases. Landfilling requires space and many chemicals and energy in plastics are lost in disposal routes. Biodegradable plastics may not degrade fast enough to avoid a build of plastics and to help the environment. Recycling plastics is time consuming and plastics must be sorted through by the types of
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 become "mandatory" in many states and towns. Landlords can fine a resident for not following the rules of recycling. It was made official awhile back that certain things should not be sent to our landfills,such as paint cans, car parts, and any kind of hazardous materials. Americans are already recycling at a high rate.
Recycling is an important part of keeping this planet sustainable so our future generations can live on it. Many people are familiar with reprocessing paper and plastic materials, but there are countless others that can also be used. Our landfills are also filling up because too many people throw away these recyclable items that can easily be reused. Almost anyone has the ability to reduce, reuse, and recycle, but it is not always easily accessible which is why many people do not. Although there are some negatives to doing this, recycling is the best option we have when dealing with this problem. Too many non-decomposable items are being thrown away and it is harming the planet. The United States should make recycling mandatory in every state
Americans make more than 200 million tons of garbage each year, enough to fill Busch Stadium from top to bottom twice a day, that’s over 1800 feet! according to Ballparks. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it says Do Something. With the invention of the virtually indestructible material well known as plastic, on top of the rapidly evolving technological world, and the extreme reduction of locations where landfills can be built, it’s hard to believe that 75% of the waste stream in America alone is recyclable, and yet only 30% of it is actually recycled. Recycling is a beneficial solution to many of our increasingly important environmental

“Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we are ignorant of their value.” -R. Buckminster Fuller. Pollution is caused by disposal of waste into things like the air or water. Water pollution is a major type of pollution that is caused by dumping waste into the water. It has been going on since the Victorian era. Back then there was lots of pollution going on with factories polluting the air and water with waste. Water pollution today is reciprocal to that of the Victorian era because of how factories and humans are dumping sludge and waste into waterways that pollute the water, but is divergent because of the efforts we have made since then to protect the environment by reducing water
Pollution is caused by both human and natural events. There are many different types of pollution. Some of these types of pollution include air, water, and land pollution.
These days, our earth has been filled by a lot of waste. There is a lot of garbage, plastic waste, and electronic waste. We always produce it and dump it when we need the new one. Our waste are piling up and continuously accumulating. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems for us now. And our solution in this problem is recycling. In my opinion, recycling is a way to manage used items into new products. We can reduce, reuse, and recycling (3R) waste management (Peter, 2013). We can reduce our waste clothes with reuse it. There are some reasons why peoples recycle used or unwanted items, which are, prevent wasting unusable materials that still have usage after recycled, reduce the application of raw materials, reduce energy
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
Recycling is the process of collecting materials that are often considered trash and remanufacturing them into new products that can be resold and used again. Glass, paper, plastic, and metals such as aluminum and steel are all common recycled stuff. Based on the website http://www.environment-green.com/. Approximately 60% of our rubbish thrown away today could be recycled. But what we can see today are people throw 99% of the rubbish away without recycling. When this continues more and more rubbish will be collected and all this need years to dissolve. Most people still not aware of the seriousness of not recycling and the harm that will affect them, it is because they still leave in they comfortable zone but when the day come they will
