recycling takes the pressure of out Natural resources ,for example if paper is recycled we use the old paper another time and new trees do not have to be cut down to make more paper .this is the concept and it applies to all the resources that produce our materials ,such as plastic ,metals,and glass...

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing because:

* Increasing wealth means that people are buying more products and ultimately creating more waste.
* Increasing population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste.
* New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.
* New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that isn’t biodegradable.

Environmental Importance

Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment.

* Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
* Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
* Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.

Hi all,
I am agree with all of you here, recycling is the best best thing we can do. As we all know the importance of it. I recently did my old phone recycle with fonebank and I am happy for my doing. Not only old phones or any electronic gadgets, every thing we can recycle.
I am always with the word "RECYCLE" and hope you all too.

Ya, you are right everyone like to recycle and get something new out of the unused old thing. And even if you get some money out of it then who will leave it without notice. Good to do recylcle.

Thank you people for inputs for which the thread was started. Many of you have brought in new info which you and i find really useful w.r.t Recycling. Countries have started implementing recycling some of their resources on a large scale . It would be really nice if someone can bring out some initiatives taken up by your country or other cuntries you know.
