In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America

and Europe, recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and

discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding

ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in

blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food

restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that

packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped

simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-

quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them

away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a

customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer

receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with

less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To

reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable

bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores. The

manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The

energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world,

returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage

dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles.

The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can

be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same

amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three

hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of

the world’s

precious resources.
