How are recyclable materials more eco friendly?

Answer 1

Recycling reduces the use of Natural Resources which in turn saves energy. It takes less energy to recycle something then to make it from scratch. It only takes about 5 percent of energy to recycle a aluminum can than it takes to make a can from scratch.

Answer 2

Recyclable materials are more eco-friendly because the materials used to make them are reused over and over again as they are recycled. For instance, trees are cut down to make paper. If that paper was not recycled, more trees would be cut down to make new paper, and so one. However, if that paper was recycled, it would simply be reprocessed, and no new trees would need to be cut down. The same works for all other recyclable materials. By reusing the products, it reduces the need for consumption of new raw materials.

Answer 3

Whatever it is that you reuse, it doesn't end up in a landfill.

Re-using is actually better than recycling. If you keep empty jam jars, and then use them to store your home made jam you save more energy than if they were recycled.

Recycling alone will not save the earth, but it is one of many things that we can do to improve the health of the planet. The most important thing we have to do is cut down greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global warming. Recycling can help with this, but we have to do much more by finding ways of generating power from renewable energy sources, like the sun, wind and water.
