Every year we spent too much energy and raw materials to manufacture products for human consumption, but a large part of this production turns out to be trash. Bottles, packaging, flyers, disposable dishes, and others are intended, since its creation, to be the most expensive garbage. The energy was spent in her fabrication, the raw materials and the work hand, all this has a cost not only economic.
The most serious of the matter is that much of that trash can be recycled, but until recently nobody cared about that. The plastics, paper, textiles and metals, can re-enter in the production chain and be useful again. Making recycled products spends less energy and fewer raw materials, in addition to that we create less trash.
So recycling benefits the planet in two ways: by reducing the amount of garbage and reduce the use of raw materials. You can now realize that it is not logical to produce more and more rubbish. Think of tomorrow.
