Recycling
Recycling is very important in our lives because the waste we create is increasing all the time. The rise in population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste. New packaging are being developed, but much of these products contain materials that are not eco- friendly.
New life style changes such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that are isn't recyclable.
Recycling helps to decrease the pollution caused by waste. It reduces the need for raw materials so that the rain forest can be preserved. Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials.
