2. Why is it important to recycle?

Recycling is important for many reasons. We often promote recycling to keep waste out of landfills, which are often unpopular with the community. It is also important to remember that recycling recovers valuable raw materials. We make aluminum cans from recycled cans, then we don't have to disturb the environment by mining and smelting the mineral bauxite which is used in the manufacturing of aluminum. Recycling also reduces pollution and saves energy that would have been expended when making products from "virgin" or unrecycled raw materials. Recycling works best when we remember to buy and use products made from recycled materials, such as newspaper or glass. Recycling Directory
