What is going on in this world today with recycling?

Question

I am doing a report on recycling and need help

Answer 1

We recycle so we don't have to cut down many trees because paper is made out of trees and if you use it for no reason it a waste of tree and there will be more CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) in the air and it is not good for us. Plant breath in CO2 and relase Oxygen.

Answer 2

absolutely nothing! because everyone wants to get paid for it.

Answer 3

Maybe we should be more like N. Korea and reuse d**n near everything. We would do it because we are sick of waste not because our leader is a midget clown.

Answer 4

I would suggest that you narrow down your topic to a particular type of recycling.  I'm sure you could find alot of information on recycling plastics and aluminium cans.  You can go to the environmental website www.GoElecticNow.com and do a search on any topic and it will provide you with many sources for your report.  I hope this helps.

Answer 5

I think you should talk about how its not as beneficial as everybody thinks it is. Its better than garbage but still not good enough.

Answer 6

We recycle to make the world better? I don't get what do you wanna know....

Answer 7

The usefulness of recycling depends on the material being recycled.  The trend toward recycling has come from the environmental movement, trying to reduce the use of and re-use materials that would otherwise be dumped into landfills.  

Some materials, such as plastic, are used in the production of other plastic items.  For example, a number of plastic soda bottles may be recycled and used to make one of the large plastic residential dumpsters. Plastic can also be used in the manufacture of plastic auto parts used in the interior of cars.  Glass is ground up to make "cullet," which starts the process of making new glass items.  Paper is used in the production of new paper items.

Other recycling follows the philosophy of "one man's trash is another man's treasure," so that, for example, fabric scraps that might otherwise have been thrown away wind up in someone else's quilt.

Hope this is helpful to you.
