Why Do We Recycle???

 

Although we live on the Earth and have control over much of our environment, the Earth does not belong to us. It is also home for plants, animals, insects, birds and fish, and it will be home for future generations of humans. Because of this, we have a responsibility to protect the environment.                                                                                                                  

When I hear the words “environmental problems” I imagine: acid rains, water and air pollution, overpopulation, global warming , the greenhouse effect, depletion of the ozone layer, shortage of natural resources and fewer trees. 

In my opinion, most of the Earth’s major environmental problems, such as the holes in the ozone layer, have been caused by humans and we are the only ones able to solve the problems. We have to start recognizing that our actions can lead to environmental damage.                                                                    

First and foremost, a lot of people still think that there is little they can do to help the environment. They are sure that it is the duty of the government and big companies to make our planet cleaner: to recycle waste materials, to protect rare animals and plants, to install antipollution equipment and so on. But they are wrong. Everybody must take part in reducing pollution.                       

What is more, there is still a lot of rubbish everywhere. Many people have always polluted their surroundings. Recycled waste can be made into new products and it can help save natural resources.

To my mind, it would be great if recycling centres paid people for the rubbish they brought in. Finally, I strongly feel that education is extremely important. For example, if people learn to recycle their waste, instead of just throwing it away, we will not have to destroy the countryside. Landfill sites will not have to be constructed, and factories, which pollute the atmosphere, will not have to produce so many new products.

To sum up, I believe that all of us must do our best to be as green and as environmentally friendly as possible. The whole future of the planet is in our hands.
