If everyone recycles how would it effect global warming?

Answer 1

Recycling saves energy, so if everyone in the world did it, then a lot of energy would be saved. If this is fossil fuel energy, then that is a very good thing.

Man's contribution to global warming is caused by our creation of power by burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Building nuclear, like France does, is one way to economically help here. Another is to move entirely to renewable energy.

13% of man's contribution to global warming is caused by automobiles. Electric cars fueled by nuclear would certainly help here.

Recycling is a great idea, but stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) would be much more effective.

Answer 2

the world would be great => The world would be a better place to live in. =>It would save our Natural Resources.

=> Reduces pollution especially water and air pollution. => refuge and sewage disposal would reduce.

Answer 3

buy recycling all the plastics and paper and to re use plastic bags and to not waste paper as we are cutting down trees when we could use paper that has gone to waste such as when you have done a mistake, most people would scrunch it up and throw it away but by using it, it would not just help the trees but it also helps us to breathe in the oxygen so there fore we can not live wihout it.

Answer 4

• Recycling saves energy
• Saving energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions
• So there is a slowing down of global warming.

Global warming is caused by several things. One of these is the

• release of carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by using energy generated from burning fossil fuels.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted whenever we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning is used to generate electricity and to power transport. Much more energy (electricity) is needed to produce, for example, an aluminum can from the original bauxite, than if we just recycled a can that was used already. So recycling aluminum saves a lot of energy.

The same applies to recycling glass, paper, plastic and other metals. Recycling is just one of many ways that we can use to try and slow global warming. So even recycling one aluminum can makes a tiny difference.

Answer 5

Recycling helps reduce the need for new raw materials to be extracted and processed, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions from activities like mining and manufacturing. It also helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, which can emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Overall, widespread recycling can contribute to mitigating global warming by conserving resources and reducing carbon emissions.

Answer 6

There is not enough data to find out for sure, however, most studies show that it wouldn't affect global warming at all, good or bad. It would probably increase pollution though.

Answer 7

No. Recycling will certainly help the environment, but will only make a small difference to global warming. Having said this, recycling is a great idea for many other reasons.
