Recycling at school is an easy step you can take to help the environment in three main ways:
Step One - Reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill - Reusing and recycling items means that less waste has to be buried in the ground in landfill sites, plus we save valuable resources by turning waste into new products! Burying less rubbish means we have to build fewer landfill sites, which frees up another important resource: land.
Step Two - Save energy and natural resources - Recycling uses less energy than making items from scratch, for example, recycling an aluminium can saves 95% of the energy needed to make a completely new can.
Step Three - Help tackle climate change - Reducing the energy used to make and transport products means less carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Recycling also cuts the amounts of methane, another powerful greenhouse gas, which can be given off by biodegradable materials as they rot under pressure in landfill sites.
