recyling can save energy!!!

Recycling means to use something again. Newspapers can be used to make new newspapers. Aluminum cans can be used to make new aluminum cans. Glass jars can be used to make new glass jars. Recycling often saves energy and natural resources through conservation.

It almost always takes less energy to make a product from recycled materials than it does to make it from new materials. Using recycled aluminum scrap to make new aluminum cans, for example, uses 95 percent less energy than making aluminum cans from bauxite ore, the raw material used to make aluminum.

Natural resources are riches provided courtesy of Mother Nature. Natural resources include land, plants, minerals, and water. By using materials more than once, we conserve natural resources. In the case of paper, recycling saves trees and water. Making a ton of paper from recycled stock saves up to 17 trees and uses 50 percent less water...http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/index.html

however, recycling still consume energy, so the best way is reduce and reuse. we can reduce using plastics and aluminium can. tis can save a lot of energy. save enery can reduce constucting of damp and indirectly will reduce deforestation. so do save save energ by reduce, reuse n recycle.

besides saving energy, we can reduce waste in tis world if v use less plastics , glass jar and aluminium can. so v do not need to hav lots of landfill...landfill will produce leachate (liquid produce from waste when they decompose or mix wif water, it is toxic and contain heavy metal, will harm our health). tis leachate will contaminate our ground water.

so human!!! lets reduce our waste by reduce, reuse n recycle!!! save energy!!! yeah!!!
