What Exactly Is Recycling?

Recycling basically involves turning used materials that are labeled as recyclable over to your local waste facility designated in a disposal container as “recyclable” materials to be taken and reused as material for a new purpose. A recyclable product is turned back into a raw form that can be used to create a new and different product. Not only are natural resources limited, but recycling efforts can significantly reduce additional waste that will not only harm the planet today, but future generations as well. The natural resources on our planet earth are limited so we must make the most to conserve, recycle and reuse whenever possible.

Ways to Reduce the Amount of Trash You Create

Another way to help the planet is to simply cut down on the amount of non-recyclable materials you throw out. What’s a good way to do this?

1-Try to reduce the amount of packaging you purchase by buying products in bulk.

2-Buy products that are packaged in cardboard or paper board instead of Styrofoam.

3-Try to avoid disposable items such as paper plates, cups, and utensils.

4-When wrapping presents, opt for reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper – or maybe even reuse wrapping paper.
