Question

Is re-cycling just a load of rubbish?

Answer 1

Re-cycling is very important for the environment.

Answer 2

How is recycling "a load of rubbish"?? It's helping out the environment. If we reuse things, that means that less things out there (like trees) have to be destroyed in order to make stuff for us.

For example, recycling paper reduces the amount of trees that'll have to be cut down. And more trees equals more oxygen for us. :)

Answer 3

It's rubbish being re-cycled...

Answer 4

In a way, yes it is.  Recycling uses energy and is not the answer.

Answer 5

In response to Christy's answer, she's right.  Recycling does use energy, that's why the slogan is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and the rules should be applied in that order.  If you don't buy beveridges in cans or plastic bottles you don't have to recycle them.
