Is Recycling Really Good For The Environment?

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:52:58 +0000

So, to recycle a can, I first need to wash it out so it can go in the bin. Then the huge recycling truck has to drive and pick up all the bins and deliver them. And then energy is used to sort and turn that aluminum into a raw reusable form.
I would love to help the environment. I just would like some pointers to actual data regarding whether the resources used and pollution created in recycling is worth the end result of the can not ending up in a dump.

Is Recycling Plastic Good For The Environment?

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:56:02 +0000

We are having a debate about recycling plastic, and whether it is good for the environment to recycle or not.
A reason why is would not be good for the environment is that is uses more energy to recycle something than it does to let it decompose naturally. Is this true? Please provide internet sources.
