We hear all of the time that we should recycle to help protect the environment but how much do we really know about recycling?
For instance did you know that approximately 40% of the waste in the United States comes from paper but Americans only recycle about 25%-30% of paper products? This adds up to destroying close to 30 million trees a year just on newspapers!
And those Styrofoam cups that you use to drink your coffee out of every morning? You could circle the Earth more than 400 times with the amount of those cups that are used every year!
Those glass bottles that you throw away? They'll still be there a 1000 years from now!
Did you know that if you recycled just one aluminum can a day that you could save enough to run your television for 3 hours?
In the United States, one in every six trucks is a garbage truck! With the amount of waste that is thrown away, is it any wonder that landfills are closing up at the rate of approximately 2 per day in the United States alone? 
Did you ever stop to think what is going to happen to us at that rate?
Where will we be living 100 years from now when all of
the Earths surface is just one big landfill? Do you want to see your future generations with no place to go except on a big pile of trash? True, we probably won't be here by that time, but they will be our future families none the less and if you don't want your family to live on a landfill now, then why would you want your family of the future living on a big landfill? If everyone would recycle just a little bit then we can begin to protect our Earth for the generations to come. It's better for the environment and helps to prevent global warming also. By starting to recycle now, you can teach the children good habits that they can pass on to their children and their children's children so that your family and our Mother Earth can indeed have a future!
