Why recycle ?

Years ago , before the invention of plastics and other non biodegradable materials , disposing of waste was less of a concern . Now that people produce so much non biodegradable waste , it is more difficult to find places to store them .
Much waste is dumped in landfill sites . However , these sites take up large areas of land and the waste may remain there for many years-perhaps even centuries , and pollute the environment . Recycling is an alternative way of dealing with it , reducing the amount of waste in the environment and protecting the planet from pollution .
It is also important in the effort to reduce the amount of new materials used for manufacturing things . Supply of natural resources is not unlimited and they may run out . Furthermore , it can also be more cost effective to reuse old materials instead of using new ones . Thus , recycling can help save money too !
