Question

Why is recycling so important?

Thank you people!

Answer 1

Recycling is utilizing used resource again for same purpose or some other purpose. If you look around recycling is natural and it is part of natural cycle.

For artificial waste, doing recycling helps us in following ways.

1. Saves earth space, which would be utilized to store garbage.

2. Reduces the need to create more products from destroying natural resources, or using energy that creates more pollution to make them.

3. Reduces the damage that our parasitic consumption does to the planet and to the people and animals we share the earth with.

GO GREEN

Answer 2

Because if we didn't re-use things we would run out of resources. AND everything would be thrown onto one big landfill site to rot and then it goes into the soil and then into the water and then into the water we drink.

Answer 3

Landfill space is a big issue.  In the county I live in here in Florida, recycling is not required.  On an average day here in Manatee county, the average person produces 11 pounds of garbage a day.

Answer 4

recycling is important because otherwise  the resouces extractor companies - paper,gum,wood,metals etc . would extract the whole good mineral resouces of our earth ultimately leading to the wastage which could also signify the end of life on earth.

Answer 5

Recycling is important because it greatly cuts down on the amount of waste buildup in landfills.  That waste doesn't go anywhere (doesn't break down) at least not most of it.   It pollutes soil and lowers air quality.   The waste that does break down releases methane gas into the atmosphere (methane is a greenhouse gas).  It also means fewer resources are used to make new items like new milk jugs etc.  and therefore, less energy is spent on making the new items.   Fewer trees are cut down when recycling paper products.   Trees are necessary to help remove greenhouse gases from the air, release oxygen, and serve as habitat for wildlife.

Answer 6

Recycling saves oil.  

See, oil is used for everything.

Not only is the petroleum used to grease the machines used for production, it is used to give the objects their color.  It makes the plastic bottle.  That is why it is not good to microwave liquid in plastic containers.

Answer 7

we should save our planet  by recycling.....at least we could do that to help our planet......

Answer 8

Recycling is so important because the natural resources underneath the earth are very scarce in their quantity and simultaneously the human population is becoming vast and obviously even their needs are getting vast.so, this might  lead to the complete extinction of the resources.so,it is important to recycle them in order to make them available even to the future generations.so please avoid keeping on digging out the resources from the mother earth and make use of the wonderful concept of RECYCLING.
