Recycle Plastic

This world needs to recycle more as a whole. To much plastic and garbage piling up and a waste if we don't reuse it. We use plastic products every day, which include beverages and food containers, trash bags and grocery bags, plastic cups and utensils, children's toys and diapers, and bottles for mouthwash and hair products. Plastic is even into furniture, appliances, computers and automobiles. Americans consumed 28.3 gallons of bottled water in 2006, up from 1.6 gallons in 1976. United States is the worlds leader in bottle water consumed at 28 billion annually. Roughly 75 to 80 percent of the bottles ends up in landfills. Recycling plastic conserves energy, natural resources and pollution. Well run recycling program cost less to operate than waste collection, landfilling and incineration. Also, with more people recycling the cheaper it gets. Recycling creates 1.1 million jobs, $236 billion in gross annual sales and $37 billion in annual payrolls. For every job collecting recyclables, there are 26 jobs in processing the materials and manufacturing them into new products. A national recycling rate of 30% reduces greenhouse gas emissions as much as removing nearly 25 million cars from the road. Brutal wars over natural resources, including timber and minerals, have killed or displaced more than 20 million people and are raising at least $12 billion a year for rebels, warlords, and repressive governments. Recycling eases the demand for the resources. Recycling prevents habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion associated with logging and mining. Macy's and Ford are 2 companies that recycle materials. Start recycling to save the environment and to do a good deed. One tree, animal and humans at a time to save life on earth for all.
