Recycling: saving
earth's resources
Recycling is a very
important step in slowing down and eventually
stopping wasting of earthís natural
resources. Scientist worldwide are exploring new
ways to have better fuel efficiency and lowering
pollution emissions. In an attempt to reverse the
effects of overusing earthís valuable
natural resources, everyone is called upon.
Recycling is a big part of the effort to re-use and
limit the use of our resources.
 There
are many categories of products people can recycle.
Paper and its derived products such as carton are
now being recycled successfully
everyday.
Other resources like
metals are being recycled daily. Such metal objects
as tin cans, aluminum cans and tinfoil plates.
Before recycling metal items, they have to be
rinsed and free of food residue as this can cause
toxic problems in the recycling
process.
Another very useful way
of giving a second life to metal products is to use
them for storage or making crafts. By creating
crafts with our children with used metal objects,
we are showing them that many uses can be found and
wasting is not the only solution.
Recycling glass has
also been around for a while as bottles and jars
are getting a second life everyday. Again, all
these glass containers need to be rinsed before put
in the recycling bin.
 Plastic
is now part of our lives and is very useful. The
quantity of plastic we are discarding everyday is a
major problem nowadays. Recycling and reusing
plastic containers are the best way to ensure we
are not polluting earth. Plastic bags can be also
recycled. The easiest way to recycle them is by
putting them all in one plastic bag.
Another very important
point is to rethink our packaging methods and
realize we are overusing wraps and seals
unnecessarily. We have to honestly ask ourselves if
a brand new music recording requires all this
plastic wraps and sealing to conserve its
'freshness'. It is more commonly accepted to walk
out of a convenient store with a very small item
and refuse the small plastic bag offered knowing it
will be thrown away a couple of minutes
later.
Not everyone is aware
that milk cartons and juice cartons are recyclable
and can be put in the glass/plastic/metal section
of the recycling bin. They need to be rinsed out of
their food residue first of course.
Another good way of
recycling is to have consignment refunds on tin
cans and bottles. Not every American state offers a
valuable refund and recycles soda drinks bottles
and cans. It is every citizenís duty and
right to ask their governments in power to
implement such recycling politics.
