positive effects of recycling. First, I'm going to talk about the environmental effects. Then, I'll talk about how recycling saves natural resources.

techniques, energy-efficient appliances, and cars it would be a selfish act to not get involved in this movement. Consumers are consistently trying to find new and improved ways to lessen the effects of pollution through automobiles, and the preservation of energy through more effect energy appliances. It is our responsibility as a society to improve our environment and eliminate as many harmful wastes as we can. “Americans generate about 250 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW), or…

within our modern society (History of Nuclear Energy). Nuclear fusion led to the findings of nuclear energy used today to power our electricity. The state with the most amount of nuclear energy used is within the Mississippi and the large production of nuclear energy within Mississippi is very harmful towards the surroundings and the ecosystem around because it is a popular energy source that is a direct effect due more demand for energy, more nuclear waste, and a higher risk of meltdowns…

We create a machine with can transform dust, water to clean water. Another thing with we use is a machine with incinerates the trash, and, with the smoke we create energy, it is a renewable type of energy. The other problem is the amount of trash that humans produce every day, for this problem we recycle most of the trash.

Therefore ISA should go green and have recycle bins which then the recycled items will be processed to a recycling company. One of the reasons recycling should be mandatory is because it will protect wildlife from decreasing the risk of killing an animal from lake to sea, or from forest to rivers. The amount of waste found on land will decrease which will…

consumption” (Wiener). And, “One-third of the U.S. aluminum supply comes from recycled material” (Wiener). In 1994, Horrigan wrote, “But the recycling industry has been steadily maturing: It now diverts almost 24 percent of the nation 's municipal waste to productive uses” (Horrigan). Certain items such as newspaper and plastic are able to be recycled and used for the same purpose as before; often time, the price is lower for these resources after recycling too (Horrigan). Along wi¬¬¬¬¬¬¬th…

The average American generates 4.40 pounds of waste every day (EPA). In a nation with a population of approximately 324 million people, that is a ton trash, literally. Where does all this trash go and what should be done with it? That question has been a part of a large debate about whether the U.S should burn its trash or bury it.

Every year 1/3 of the annual food production is thrown away in the garbage just to end up in a landfill. That’s 20 lbs of food per month; that’s basically money in the garbage.
