Trees

Last year we recycled enough paper to save over 41 million trees! Trees do more than beautify our world.They help clean the air of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas.Places like the Amazon or other jungles and forests of the kind are being threatened, as the quantity of trees goes down.As much as our trees are disappearing so are the animals who inhabit it and the natives.

Recycling doesn't help all.In fact, in 2006, 66% of that plastic, glass, and aluminum you use for beverage bottles were not recycled.Recently, the aluminum can recycling rate fell to 51.5%, it proves we recycle 1, 500 cans a second, a poor minority.Sadly, over 21 billions cans are being put into landfills because people just don't recycle.That's why we, every individual, plays a big part in the recycling system.We recycle 74% steel, 95% aluminum, 85% copper, 65% lead, 64% paper and 80% plastic.This is what happens when we don't recycle:

What's recycling?

To solve one of our problems, we use a rather efficient technique: recycling, but it only works if everybody participates. Recycling means giving it another cycle. Let’s take a can for instance, by recycling it; you can get the same one in less than 3 days! That’s why there is 2 different garbage’s: the blue one, to recycle any paper, glass, or cardbored, and the black one for everything else (we haven’t invented a technique for that yet).
