2. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution and water pollution • Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics

3. One of the great things about recycling is that the process helps to minimize the presence of waste materials in our communities. Because items such as glass, paper, and plastics are being reused to create new products, they do not end up taking up space in a landfill somewhere. Since most people are not interested in having a garbage dump located near their homes or offices, recycling makes it possible to avoid creating newer and larger landfills that would otherwise be necessary to accommodate all the waste. Importance of recycling The importance of recycling also extends to maintaining a healthy balance in the ecology of the planet. By not having to mine raw materials in order to continue producing the same volume of products, there is less damage to our rivers, forests, and areas where wildlife is abundant. Since every form of life on the planet is dependent on the presence of another form of life, maintaining an ecological balance is key to providing security for the generations to come. Another example of the importance of recycling has to do with the creation of new jobs. As more people recycle, the number of people required to collect, sort and process recycled items continues to grow. More jobs in the community means more money spent in local stores, more taxes collected for the city or town, and in general a healthier economy for everyone concerned.

To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down. Kinds of Recycling PlasticRecycling GlassRecycling MiscellaneousRecycling Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator. ainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute

6. How Can We Recycle to Save Our Planet? here are many reasons to recycle. When we think about ways we can recycle to save our planet, we need to think not just about ourselves and our wallets, but our air and water and the creatures that inhabit both. Some of the biggest environmental disasters are the plastic bags we receive at grocery and drugstores. As little as one percent of them get recycled, although they can be recycled easily. Instead, they end up in trees, or clogging sewers, or choking marine wildlife. You can buy reusable bags that fold into the size of a coin purse and use these at drug and grocery stores instead. Or you can reuse plastic bags as garbage and pet refuse bags. Or take them to be recycled – many Whole Foods markets now offer bag recycling.

7. CONCLUSION As much as we are aware of the advantage of recycling we still do not have the overwhelming idea of its such  huge benefits ..  and as much as we could  help and give we receive the profit and the outcome of our participation. We all must know the result of our effort would be outstanding .. So if we Protect the environment , the environment would  sure  protects us .    WE SHOULD  START   RECYCLE NOW ..
