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.
