Recycling takes a little time to do for the consumer, so many don't like to be bothered by it. And the gains to be had by recycling aren't that easy to calculate. But recycling can reduce both the amount of waste that would otherwise go to land fills and the amount of new material we'd need to extract from the evironment. And particularly in terms of metals and glass it takes a lot less energy to recycle than to start new from scratch.
