The history of recycling
  • Recycling was discovered in 1671 by Chadwick
    Grayson. He told every one he knew but they
    didnt believe that just recycling can change our
    world.

reduce
  • You can lessen detrimental effects on the
    environment by conserving water, fuel and energy.
    The Natural Resources Defense Council recommends
    that consumers unplug electronic devices when not
    in use, and purchase energy-efficient appliances.
    Consolidate trips or use public transportation to
    consume less fuel. Turn off the tap when brushing
    your teeth. Consider supplementing your home
    electricity with alternative energy sources such
    as solar and wind power. Several small steps like
    these add up over time to benefit the
    environment, and you often save money as an added
    bonus.

reuse
  • Reuse means that an item is used several times
    before going in the trash. For example, let
    children draw on the back of scrap office paper.
    Donate unwanted clothing and household goods to
    charity rather than trashing them. Finding
    creative ways to turn a used product into a new
    item of equal or greater value is sometimes
    called up cycling. Examples of up cycling include
    turning bottle caps into magnets or using old
    T-shirts to make a quilt

recycling
  • When you recycle, items such as paper, plastic,
    glass and metal are taken to processing centers.
    At these facilities, the recyclables are cleaned
    and then undergo a process that turns them back
    into useable goods. Contact your city or county
    government to find out about recycling programs
    or facilities near you. Many areas have curbside
    pickup of recycled goods such as plastic, glass
    and aluminum. Other areas have regional recycling
    facilities that accept a variety of recyclables.
