HOW CAN WE H ELP
TO PROTECT ENVIRONMENT?
1. Recycling o f Waste
Now about one half a ton of rubbish is produced by one person
each year. Most of this is buried in enormous landfill sites or burned
in incinerators. Both of these actions can be dangerous for the
environment. Is all our rubbish really rubbish? Much of what is
thrown away could be used again. It makes sense to reuse and recycle
our rubbish instead of just trying to solve the problem of where to
put it! Now the rates of recycling have increased, so, in Britain
35% of household rubbish is recycled, although up to 80% could
be recycled. Much of waste is made up of glass, metal, plastic and
paper. Our natural resources such as trees, oil, coal and aluminium
are used up in enormous amounts to make these products and the
resources will one day be completely used up. We must cut down
on energy use.
