Why <strong>Recycling</strong>?<br />
It’s estimated that 90% <strong>of</strong><br />
what we throw away could be<br />
recovered through reuse,<br />
recycling or composting.<br />
<strong>Recycling</strong> is easy and it<br />
conserves important raw<br />
materials and protects natural<br />
habitats for the future.<br />

Reduce the Size <strong>of</strong><br />
Landfills<br />
As there is a rapid growth in<br />
population, it will become difficult<br />
for the landfills to hold so much<br />
trash. This leads to heavy pollution<br />
and causes major health problems.<br />
By recycling materials, we can<br />
reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> materials<br />
going into the landfills and reduce<br />
the strain on our environment.<br />

Reduces Greenhouse Gas<br />
Emissions<br />
When certain products are thrown<br />
into the landfill or burnt they may<br />
emit greenhouse gases, which are<br />
responsible for global warming. But,<br />
recycling such products decreases<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> greenhouse gases<br />
released into the environment and<br />
prevents water and air pollution.<br />
