What will happen if we don't recycle?
Recycling is an essential part of our lives that helps to sustain our natural environment and preserve resources. Saahithi says that "If no one in the world ever recycled,the world would be in great danger. Without recycling, there is the risk that our homes and habitats could be destroyed, we may not have any more everyday resources, and people could die of toxic gasses" (2011)
Recycling everyday resources means that there will be more resources left in the future. "The most important reason to recycle is most probably because if people didn't recycle, everyday resources will soon disappear. If everyday resources become scarce, prices for products would go up." (Saahithi 2011) Not only do our resources rely on recycling, but our economy does to.
Landfills are one of the most traditional ways of disposing of garbage. They release methane and carbon dioxide as the rubbish decomposes which greatly contributes to greenhouse gasses and reduces the ozone layer which protects the Earth from the Suns harmful ultraviolet rays. Landfills also take up space that could be used for housing with our growing population. If we don't recycle most of our rubbish will end up in landfills and enhance these problems.
Another method for disposing or rubbish is incineration. This is where the rubbish is destroyed by being burnt. This is very bad for the atmosphere as all the smoke from the fires creates greenhouse gasses.
Rubbish that is not collected would contaminate our water and soon there would not be any clean water to drink.
