Recycling????

Question

why is recycling good for the environment????

***4-6 sentences please*** its for a project

Answer 1

Recycling is good for the environment because it keeps a lot of things out of our land fills.  Milk cartons are being turned into bathroom stall walls. Tires are being shredded for playground fill instead of mulch, which rots.  Cans can be recycled into more cans and anything else aluminum.  Glass can always be turned into more bottles and other elements.  Then our land fills will be smaller and we will have better places to live.

Answer 2

Recycling is good for the environment because it keeps items from going to landfills.  Using recycled items also keeps us from having to use raw materials to produce new ones - saving the earth's resources.

Answer 4

Recycling is good for the environment because it means reusing items that are already created and not burning more energy and fossil fuels to create new items.  Parabolically, if you and 3 friends sit or stand in a dome (kinda like a port-a-potty) that is 5 feets tall and 4 feet wide; all of the hot air from breathing will build up, (not to mention the farts and burps) and it will get uncomfortable.  Eventually you will all die from lack of oxygen and clean air.  Weird way to think of it, I know, but it works.
