What happens to your recycling?
After you recycle, sometimes, people and machines will sort the materials into groups, where it is then compacted and shipped to companies to manufacture. But sometimes, the story isn't so perfect.

This produces even more pollution from travel. Recycling from Canada may even go to the USA to get recycled.

Even though this is illegal, this often happens. We sometimes ship our recycling to developing countries, where it gets lit on fire for convenience.
What happens to your compost?
What happens to your compost?
Microorganisms will break down the organic material in the compost into the smallest parts, so plants can absorb these nutrients.
What happens to your E-waste?
What happens to your E-waste?
Most E-waste gets sent to landfills and sometimes gets burned, which releases harmful chemicals into our air. An animal may accidentally eat a battery. Even if a landfill isn't lit on fire, the batteries may still emit harmful chemicals, especially while being moved. Fossil fuels may be a major source of climate change, but they don't contribute to all parts of it.
