Waste and trash is sorted out after being thrown away into different categories; paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, food and general waste and actually more than 60 percent of this waste could be recycled and used once again ( Every process of recycling related to any of these different types is done in a different kind of way and every type could produce a percentage of energy different than the other, but they all end up with some benefits that call out for the whole recycling process from the beginning. Did you know that aluminum could be recycled and used once again in just 6 weeks? Aluminum is one of the materials used by people in the form of cans which lots of food comes in and that is why recycling would be important in such a case instead of throwing away all these cans without making any use of them. The interesting fact regarding aluminum recycling is that one recycled can could actually save energy to power a television for three hours! It is not just aluminum, but glass is also another material that is 100 percent recyclable and could be used again and again. In all the cases, glass is usually separated from the rest of the rubbish to keep the people collecting it safe from any injuries in case any glass bottle got broken, but the interesting thing is that glass is also one of the different materials that could be recycled as well. Paper is also from the materials that could be recycled and sent back to the shops to be sold once again, there are different types and grades for paper, they are not all treated in the same way. Paper is one of the most important materials to be recycled because of the benefits it carries, it actually produces 73 percent less air pollution when it is recycled and not just made from new raw materials ( Plastic is the fourth type of material that could be also recycled like the others. The interesting thing about plastic is the amount that families tend to throw away and which is believed to reach about 40 kg per year by just one family, which is enough to be recycled and made use of. Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose, and this is enough to explain the importance of recycling when it comes to plastic. The countries that call out for recycling tend to make it easier to sort the materials by asking the public to separate their trash and waste when they are throwing it away; put the paper alone, the plastic alone, the glass alone, food alone and every other thing that they could not identify alone. This would make it easier for the recycling company to collect the trash bin and directly separate it before delivering it to the recycling plant and start the process of recycling. You are now asking why would recycling be considered that much important. There are lots of different materials that could be recycled and that is enough to explain the importance of such process. Recycling is important because it saves energy and resources, it reduces pollution and it saves trees, water, oil and electricity. Recycling is also important because it opens new work places for people and thus it reduces the rate of unemployment in the companies that follow this mindset ( There are lots of things to educate the kids with from an early age to understand how the life they are living in works and moves. Recycling is one of the important things to teach your kids and let them know more about, but it is also important to educate them financially ( it is important to educate them about the Earth’s phenomena that might take place, like tornadoes for example ( and it is also important to educate them when it comes to maths, English, crafts and cooking.
