BENEFITS OF RECYCLING

Recycling is a crucial issue in terms of green and sustainable environment.  While I was searching some articles about recycling, in US Environmental Protection Agency site, I found out the list of benefits of recycling.  Here are the benefits:

• Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators;
• Conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals;
• Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials;
• Saves energy;
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change;
• Helps sustain the environment for future generations;
• Helps create new well-paying jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States.
