What are three advantages of recycling metals?

Answer 1

Advantages:

• Recycling helps to limit the amount of glass, paper and plastic that must be produced. This will end with less garbage in landfills because it's being reused.
  
• Adds jobs to the economy
• Slows the consuming of Natural Resources. You reduce the amount of resources needed to make the same item compared to making it without recycling
• Makes people environmentally aware
• Promotes scientific advancements in recyclable and biodegradable materials
• Makes governments and businesses choose programs and apply policies in consideration of preserving and respecting the environment.
• You can get money for what you recycle (aluminum just about everywhere, and places that have CRV tax you get it back, sometimes up to $.10 a bottle, etc)
• It saves natural resources as it takes less energy to make something with recycled material rather something new
• It saves space in landfills. The items that we recycle are not biodegradable.
• Save the earth, save animals and save humanity
• If you recycle paper, trees that make oxygen for us to breath live longer.
  
• If you recycle cans, the energy that would have been used to make more cans is being saved.
• By saving energy you are cutting down the amount of CO2 being added to the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere. So you are slowing down global warming.
  
• It's better for the environment of course, but I think it's just fun -- we don't have recycling where we live now, but our family got a lot out of it when we did in the past -- it is good to know that you're making a difference in the world your children's children will be having children one day and it's good to teach them many things from sorting practice for preschoolers to look at the recycle pile in comparison to the trashcan -- some weeks we'd only have one bag of trash -- it was pretty neat. If the kids are bored they can find boxes and tubes and things to use for projects -- lots of advantages. At one point we didn't have recycling but would pack it up in containers and take it to a public drop off when we'd visit my grandmother in another town -- it was a little trouble but well worth the effort.
