Recycling Does Affect Climate Change- More Positive than Negative
Recycling saves energy.Manufacturin g goods from recycled materials typically requires less energy than producing goods from virgin materials.
Waste Prevention is even more effective
Recycling and waste prevention allow some materials to be diverted from incinerators and landfills ,and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the the combustion of waste and decomposition.
Trees absorbs Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in wood in a process called `Carbon Sequestration'
Every little bit helps! e.g. for every ton of recycled Plastic we save 1.5 tons to CO2 equivalent emission.By recycling all the office paper waste for one year, an office building of 7,000 workers could reduce greenhouse gas emission by 570 metric tons of carbon equivalent when compared to putting it in Landfill.This is equivalent to taking about 370 cars off the road.
