What is Recycling and why should I do it?

Recycling means separating collecting, processing, marketing, and ultimately using a material that would have otherwise been thrown away. For example: this morning's newspaper can be recycled for another morning's news or other paper products.

Importances of recycling include:

• Reducing our dependence on landfills and incinerators.
• Protecting our health and environment.
• Conserving our natural resources.
