Recyclingreduceswastedisposalcosts.
Recyclingreducesairpollutionand
greenhousegasemissions.
Recyclingsaveswater.
Recycling preservesopenspaces
byreducingtheneedforlandfill.
other ways that you can contribute to the environment:
use reusable shopping bags
Buy unwrapped products
use reusable cloth nappies
use a reusable coffee cup or water bottle
if you see rubbish put it in the bin!

e Most of our garbage is not really garbage at all – a lot of it can be recycled or composted instead.
