Recycling: A move to save environment

It is good to know that people in our country are gradually becoming more conscious about using recycled products. 'Reduce, reuse and recycle' have become the buzzwords in the developed countries. Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new useful products. We see recycling in the Nature and we just need to follow Nature.

Recycling can benefit our community and the environment. The benefits will be immense in our environment in the long run. Recycling, if we adopt in our life, will conserve natural resources such as trees, water minerals and save valuable energy, which, in turn, will help sustain the environment for the future generations. We have been showing great apathy towards our environment for long and we've already done terrible damage to the environment. Now we need to create awareness in our society and encourage everyone about benefits of recycling and we should teach our children in schools so that they become responsible citizens when grow up in future. We should keep our earth better than we received from our ancestors. It is the least we can do for our future generation. It's time to act together and use recycled products!
