What is recycling?
Recycling is the rescue of a material, while it has been used and looks useless, has not lost its value and can be used for much longer. So instead of rejecting it in the enviroment, achieving environmental protection and saving raw materials.
You need to know that ...
-paper is produced from trees, 2,200kg of tree trunks producing 1,000kg of paper
-glass is produced from sand of the wetlands,quicklime and soda,1,000 kg of these materials are produced from 1,100 glass
-aluminum is produced from mineral bauxite,4,000kg of bauxite producing 1,000kg of aluminum
-plastic made from oil and absorbs 4% of world oil consumption for its production
The benefits of recycling are:
1)Non-polluting the environment
2)Energy saving,recycled raw material is used to produce a material and required much less energy if the full production cycle
3)Saving raw material because recycled materials replace the raw material whick needed to produce materials
4)Improving National Economy and creating new jobs.
Finally, recycle is usefull for our healthy and clear environment and our lives can be easier with that.
And the most important is to learn about that our children and to become recycling a behaviour of their lives.

I recycle almost all I can. At home I collect refundable bottles and cans in paper grocery bags and usually cash them in when I have 3 bags full (Wegmans' machines tend to accept the most brands and they will take any alcoholic or non-acoholic brand at the desk if the machines don't, so they are my go-to for redemption).
For everything else, my building has an entire dumpster reserved for recycling, so I bought one of these from IKEA and just empty it in the big dumpster every time it's filled.
Only time I don't recycle is if I have something like paper or a water bottle when I'm out and about and there are only trash bins available. Luckily in MA, a lot of places have public recycling bins, at least in town centers/commercial districts these days. @muscleroast.com
