Why is Recycling Important?
Why Is Recycling Important /What is recycling?
Well, in a nutshell, it helps the environment. Preventing that water bottle or pop can you just finished from going into the garbage or worse, being tossed in the street, reduces waste which prevents pollution and makes our world a cleaner place to live. It is everyone’s responsibility to be part of the solution for this generation and the next.
There is great concern that Canada’s landfills are reaching capacity. According to a study by Environment Canada, landfills produce 25% of Canada’s methane emissions. In 2013, Albertans diverted over 2 billion empty beverage containers away from landfills, saving over 715 million kilowatts of energy.
Recycling in Alberta can also help support community clubs and organizations that raise funds through bottle drives. Recycling also creates jobs at depots that employ thousands of Albertans contributing to the province’s economy.
