DESCRIPTION:
Recycling Saves Landfill Space - everything you throw in the trash will end up buried in a landfill.
Recycling Saves Resources - paper and cardboard come from trees, plastics from oil, metals from ores and glass from sand. Recycling means that we don't have to chop down, extract or mine to collect more raw materials for making the things we use every day.
Recycling Saves Energy - as an example, it takes 4 tons of ore to make one ton of aluminum. That ore has to be mined, transported, crushed, mixed with caustic soda, heated, and separated from impurities. Then it is smelted at extremely high temperatures to separate the aluminum. Even if you had to send aluminum around the world 4 times on a big rig truck to recycle it, you would STILL save energy. And aluminum cans from here aren’t sent that far 😊.
