In the pre-industrial times, Britain collected and melted down metals for long-lasting uses. Paper recycling followed soon after in 1921. During wars, governments urged people to donate scrap metal, aluminum, plastic and paper due to material shortages. In America in the 1970's people had to spend more on materials and energy costs rose³. Even in the War for Independence, America melted down broken guns to make bullets and new guns. When dinosaurs roamed the Earth, their dead carcasses turned into coal and oil by recycled elements. During the dark ages, men used animal skins to keep themselves warm and wood for spears and when the spears broke, they made firewood.
