Do You Recycle?
Do you buy recycled products? Recycling and buying recycled products helps the environment. Recycling lets things in your garbage be made into new objects. Recycled plastic bottles can be made into jackets. Glass and tire pieces can be ground up. This will become gravel and sand to fix roads. Food can be composted and used to help the soil. Some resources can be recycled many times. Paper can be recycled only a few times. Each time it is recycled, more of the fibers are broken. This lowers the quality of the paper. The paper is then used for toilet paper, paper towels, and newspaper. Recycling saves millions of tons of garbage from going into a landfill each year.
