Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment.
•Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from garbage in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
•Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
•Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.
