In my last post I talked about cheaper ways to help with the environment. I mentioned composting and recycling. In this post I am going to address the harm that will come if you do not recycle and the benefits from recycling. According to http://environment-green.com/, "By recycling1 plastic bottle not only saves anywhere from 100 to 1000 years in the landfill but also saves the environment from the emissions in producing new bottles as well as the oil used to produce that bottle." This an astonishing fact and should encourage someone to recycle themselves and make a difference. Landfills are starting to consume more land every day. The United States will not be able to keep putting so much trash in a landfill. They will have to keep building more to have somewhere to put all of our trash. Think of your own lifestyle and look at the things you can change. Everyone can make a difference if they just try. So we should ask ourselves, "what is really more important?"
