aashi recycling of wastes should be done because some of these are non-biodegradable like plastics. if they are consumed by cows they can lead to death also.as also if we will not recycle wastes everywhere we see waste which spoils the enviourment and cause diseases 5/30/2011

Allie I think people these days should really concentrate on recycling because despite global warming, our world is not looking the best like it needs to be. People are not paying attention on how they are ruining their home, so i think people need to pay more attention to the place where they live instead of anything else. 4/20/2009

OSU College Kid Recycling products creates more pollution than making it from raw materials. There was an EPA report about it.
Recycling does not save more energy than merely throwing it away. You still need trucks to pick up materials to be recycled, the energy required by workers to sort it, and the energy used in processing it.
We are not running out of landfill space. There is a large amount of untapped land in Midwestern America, among other places. Landfills also have strict environmental guidelines to protect groundwater and other contamination. Some even power towns with the methane produced through decomposition.
There are more trees now than in 1920. Trees are specifically planted for milling.
Recycling costs more than dumping in landfills. It's roughly $50 a ton for landfill usage, compared to $150 average for recycling materials. Recycling aluminum is the only recycling process cheaper than making new aluminum from bauxite ore.
Creating Make-Work jobs is useless. The money could be better spent elsewhere.
Recycling costs Americans $8 billion in taxpayers money from subsidies used to pay for recycling.
Greenhouse gases are 95% water vapor. We put less than 1% of gas emissions into the air.
Reduce waste, save the Earth, save energy, do anything: but get the facts first. Don't waste your time destroying the environment. 2/13/2009
Annie Rodriguez GOOD WEBSITE... 2/13/2009

lala recycling is very important 2/3/2009
keyrin i love to recycle 2/2/2009
happy teddy there is this website called Redtube, u guys should check it out, it has alot of information 1/29/2009
fact r us When new products are manufactured from the raw material obtained from recycled products, it saves a lot of energy which is consumed for the production. When new products are manufactured from ‘virgin materials’, the amount of energy consumed is much higher. Besides, the energy required to acquire and transport the ‘virgin’ raw materials from their origins or natural sources is also saved. Add to that the energy which is required to clean and protect the environment from the pollutant waste products, especially those which are non-biodegradable (plastic) and fill up the landfill areas.
Recycling Saves Environmental Conditions and Reduces Pollution
Recycling helps in preventing global climate change to a great extent. By minimizing the energy spent on industrial production, recycling also helps in reducing greenhouse gas emission. Some of the major fossil fuels used in most industries include coal, diesel, gasoline etc. All these emit harmful gases such as methane, sulfur dioxide, carbon-dioxide to the environment. The processing of fresh raw material also creates toxic materials which pollute the environment. By reducing the energy used, recycling also minimizes the amount of fuel usage which in turn reduces the amount of harmful pollutants in the environment.
Recycling Saves Natural Resources
We know that recycling involves the processing and usage of the core elements of an old product for the production of new products. This helps in saving our natural resources to a great extent. For example, once an old newspaper is recycled we do not need to use the resource of another tree to produce new paper products. This way, proper recycling can help us preserve our natural resources for our future generations and maintain the balance of the nature.
Economic Benefits
Similar to energy and natural resource, recycling also helps in saving a lot of expense, demanded for the production of new products from ‘virgin’ materials. These expenses include the entire production cycle starting from acquiring the raw materials, transferring them from their origin to production places, processing and manufacturing costs.
Recycling process creates employment opportunities for a lot of people, involved in the various stages of the process. This in turn contributes to the economic development of the state or country.
Recycling Saves Space for Waste Disposal
Most of the landfill sites are filled up with a lot of waste products that could have been recycled effectively. Some of these waste materials belong to non-biodegradable category which takes a long time to decompose. Recycling enables proper usage of these waste products and saves space for landfills. The pace with which landfills are getting filled up, soon we might run short of landfills unless we start following recycling at our own home and spread the word to others. 1/29/2009

Mickey Wouldn't you be pretty upset if your planet was destroyed from pollution and waste, and you didn't do anything to try and help prevent it? I know I would be. That is why I am glad that I am trying to help keep our planet clean for the rest of the time it is here! It is OUR PLANET and we live in it wouldn't you like to live in a clean world? It is the least we could do for our marvelous planet we live in! It is OUR HOME and we need to keep it for as long as we can! GO GREEN! ; ) 1/12/2009
Mickey I love recycling! It helps our Planet in so many ways! I feel that recycling should be something our whole planet starts to do! It will make our Planet last so much longer! Love your world and everyone in it! Always... GO GREEN! AND STAY THAT WAY! FOREVER!... AND EVER! ; ) 1/9/2009

T.H.A.T. Thank you so much. Your information just helped a bunch of teenaged tree huggers. We're trying to form this group you see, called T.H.A.T. stands for Tree Huggers Anomynous Team. We clean up junk and litter in parks and neighborhoods, and we really needed to tell people why recycling is so important, and it is. America has become one of the laziest and most vulgar places. Now we're being filled up with garbage? Literally? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Thank you for your help. 7/17/2008

Denim Ford not recycling should be illegal in every state.
our landfill space is being taken up by junk that can be re-used and our trees are dying,
we need trees to survive so we are pretty much killing ourselves. 4/22/2008

LadyFlirt The importance of recycling can be observed in multiple ways. If you are wondering in your mind as to "why I should recycle" then here are some causes which should convince you to do so.

Recycling Saves Energy

Recycling Saves Environmental Conditions and Reduces Pollution

Recycling Saves Natural Resources

Economic Benefits

Recycling Saves Space for Waste Disposal

OSU College Kid Recycling products creates more pollution than making it from raw materials. There was an EPA report about it.
Recycling does not save more energy than merely throwing it away. You still need trucks to pick up materials to be recycled, the energy required by workers to sort it, and the energy used in processing it.
We are not running out of landfill space. There is a large amount of untapped land in Midwestern America, among other places. Landfills also have strict environmental guidelines to protect groundwater and other contamination. Some even power towns with the methane produced through decomposition.
There are more trees now than in 1920. Trees are specifically planted for milling.
Recycling costs more than dumping in landfills. It's roughly $50 a ton for landfill usage, compared to $150 average for recycling materials. Recycling aluminum is the only recycling process cheaper than making new aluminum from bauxite ore.
Creating Make-Work jobs is useless. The money could be better spent elsewhere.
Recycling costs Americans $8 billion in taxpayers money from subsidies used to pay for recycling.
Greenhouse gases are 95% water vapor. We put less than 1% of gas emissions into the air.
Reduce waste, save the Earth, save energy, do anything: but get the facts first. Don't waste your time destroying the environment.

keyrin i love to recycle 2/2/2009
happy teddy there is this website called Redtube, u guys should check it out, it has alot of information 1/29/2009
fact r us When new products are manufactured from the raw material obtained from recycled products, it saves a lot of energy which is consumed for the production. When new products are manufactured from ‘virgin materials’, the amount of energy consumed is much higher. Besides, the energy required to acquire and transport the ‘virgin’ raw materials from their origins or natural sources is also saved. Add to that the energy which is required to clean and protect the environment from the pollutant waste products, especially those which are non-biodegradable (plastic) and fill up the landfill areas.
Recycling Saves Environmental Conditions and Reduces Pollution
Recycling helps in preventing global climate change to a great extent. By minimizing the energy spent on industrial production, recycling also helps in reducing greenhouse gas emission. Some of the major fossil fuels used in most industries include coal, diesel, gasoline etc. All these emit harmful gases such as methane, sulfur dioxide, carbon-dioxide to the environment. The processing of fresh raw material also creates toxic materials which pollute the environment. By reducing the energy used, recycling also minimizes the amount of fuel usage which in turn reduces the amount of harmful pollutants in the environment.
Recycling Saves Natural Resources
We know that recycling involves the processing and usage of the core elements of an old product for the production of new products. This helps in saving our natural resources to a great extent. For example, once an old newspaper is recycled we do not need to use the resource of another tree to produce new paper products. This way, proper recycling can help us preserve our natural resources for our future generations and maintain the balance of the nature.
Economic Benefits
Similar to energy and natural resource, recycling also helps in saving a lot of expense, demanded for the production of new products from ‘virgin’ materials. These expenses include the entire production cycle starting from acquiring the raw materials, transferring them from their origin to production places, processing and manufacturing costs.
Recycling process creates employment opportunities for a lot of people, involved in the various stages of the process. This in turn contributes to the economic development of the state or country.
Recycling Saves Space for Waste Disposal
Most of the landfill sites are filled up with a lot of waste products that could have been recycled effectively. Some of these waste materials belong to non-biodegradable category which takes a long time to decompose. Recycling enables proper usage of these waste products and saves space for landfills. The pace with which landfills are getting filled up, soon we might run short of landfills unless we start following recycling at our own home and spread the word to others.

Mickey Wouldn't you be pretty upset if your planet was destroyed from pollution and waste, and you didn't do anything to try and help prevent it? I know I would be. That is why I am glad that I am trying to help keep our planet clean for the rest of the time it is here! It is OUR PLANET and we live in it wouldn't you like to live in a clean world? It is the least we could do for our marvelous planet we live in! It is OUR HOME and we need to keep it for as long as we can! GO GREEN! ; ) 1/12/2009
