Recycling Your Recyclables
By Genevieve Thomson
You have a home and it is so much more than the roof
over your head. This home provides you food, water,
shelter and the very air you breathe. Your planet, my
planet and our planet is home to billions of people
spread out over hundreds of countries.
But it will not be much of a home unless we start recycling
our garbage, and take the "reduce reuse recycle"
idiom to heart. No one wants to live in a dirty, filthy
home overrun by garbage. The Earth is no different.
Global warming is a very real threat to the preservation
of this planet. You have probably seen television ads
focusing on new hybrid vehicles that can help save the
environment by producing less toxic byproducts from
the burning of fossil fuels.
Take Recyclables Out Of Your Garbage
Does the burning of trash cross your mind as ways you
can help save the environment. Our landfills are becoming
overflowing with hazardous waste and other products
that are not biodegradable. Plastic water bottles, disposable
diapers and styrofoam containers, to name a few, are
all becoming huge problems in most areas of the world.
Recycling is pretty easy once you get everything sorted.
Information on learning how to review your options and
sort the materials is easily found on the internet and
in pamphlets from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Sorting Out The Recyclables
You will need to sort out the recyclables into the
appropriate bins and from there the recyclable materials
are sent on their way to becoming something else for
use. You can also utilize those food scraps and waste
trimmings from the yard in a compost heap.
If every person did their part to help combat overflowing
landfills, then we could reduce our waste by fifty percent.
That is half the amount going into landfills today.
Perhaps there will come a time when we no longer have
to continuously find new places to bury our waste. Plastics
would be reused.
Help Make This A Cleaner World
Organic materials would be turned back into the soil
to enrich the ground for crops. It is a lovely sentiment
and thought but not enough people are doing their part
to help make this a cleaner world.
Recycling is your responsibility. Only you can do your
part to help reduce the amount of garbage going into
our landfills. Each time you throw away a recyclable
you are adding to a growing problem. Deciding to recycle
is an easy step and one that is remarkably simple to
institute.
There are plenty of informative resources on the internet
to help you learn how to recycle your leftover waste.
Do yourself a favor, and the Earth a favor, by doing
your part.

Little Known Recycling Facts.....
Can everything be recycled?
Unfortunately not everything can
be recycled but a huge majority can be. Too bad many
people are not electing to recycle anything at all.
Batteries can be given new life,
plastics can be made into other products and even those
old newspapers and magazines can be made into new reading
materials. You cannot recycle old diapers but there
are ways that even that can be cut down by using reusable
cloth diapers.
