Recycling

Recycling is coming to the forefront even though it is a slow rise to better awareness Waste Management has been a problem for many years. Not only are there too many dumps; but, there are many things that can be recycled to where there can be a bigger prevention of waste from going to waste dumps. Sorting out what is in the dumps and recycling what can be is one of many things that can be done in the near and far future. There are things that could be done with what cannot be recycled. In recent years, there has been less waste in dumps because of people starting to recycle. The result is a reduction in them. The significant reductions has already made an impact. People are often surprised at what is recycled and how. Laptops, cellphones along with other everyday things are being recycled. By doing so, helping others is possible. Getting money for bottles is another thing many often forget. Soda bottles and cans are often the types of bottles that are recycleable. Going to the designated places and doing so adds up in a multitude of ways over time. It is saving bottles from going into dumps as well as essentially getting paid to take them to a waste management facility. It is usually $0.05; however, it adds up over time in different ways aside from a monetary way. Another result of recycling is the material being made into other things. It helps the environment long term along with being made into surprising things such as backpacks, smaller bottles or cans and other everyday items that might be recycled. Shoes, socks, and little things that people do not think of could be made of recycled material. The environmental effects and affects are already being seen. Bigger cities have more waste and pollution with smog from the air and cigarette smoke that is polluting the air. That combination ultimately damages the planet and its air. People with asthma or breathing problems living in cities feel those effects making it hard for them to breath. The thick air is bad for them. the overall health problems regardless of being asthmatic can be lifelong in addition to life threatening. It affects everyone in the long term. It happens everywhere around the world with many not doing anything about it. However, there are just as many people that are trying to do something about it. It also affects future generations and how they will be affected. By recycling, they will feel the affects of that as well. There are ways to learn about what can be done. Doing the research on top of asking questions gets the answers needed instead of wondering or even assuming. It brings awareness to recycling as well as what it is about, what it entails along with other questions that might pop up. Many people do not know where to look or where to start. Most turn to the internet and finding websites that can help. Finding credible ones can sometimes be difficult. Websits that have .gov, .edu, and .org are often the most credible for obvious reasons of being government, educational or organizational websites. Knowing who to ask can be difficult as well. However, there are many experts in the field that are often able to help. If they are unsure they often know where to look or who to ask. The more knowledge a person has the more power they have. They know more than they did before. They also learned new things that is helpful in the long run. In comparison, they have a better understanding of recycling and can spread the word to others. The chain reaction of spreading the information helps everyone in the future for having information sperad through people. Recycling can be very helpful for everyone in many different ways. People are able to help the environment in a good way as well as make something out of recycled material. The future is very bright as far as bringing awareness to recycling.
