Recycling is an easy way to help the earth in so many different ways!
We Recycle to:
Save Resources: When we recycle, we take things like paper, plastic, and metal that we've already used and turn them into new products. This means we don't have to use as many natural resources like trees, water, and minerals.
Protect Animals and Nature: When trash isn’t recycled, it can end up in the environment, like in oceans or forests. This can hurt animals who might accidentally eat it or get stuck in it. Recycling helps keep our planet clean and safe for all living creatures.
Reduce Trash: Recycling helps us throw away less garbage. Less garbage means fewer huge landfills, which are big piles of trash that take up space and smell bad.
Save Energy: Making new things from recycled materials uses less energy than making them from scratch. This helps save energy and makes less pollution, which is good for the air we breathe.
You Can Be a Hero!: By recycling, you’re helping to take care of the Earth, just like a superhero! It’s a simple way to make a big difference in the world.
