The Seriousness Of The Lack Recycling

When I study recycling in America one glaring statistic stands out and sums up the lack of effort that we put into recycling. Landfill owners report that over 75% of thrash coming to their landfills are materials that can actually be recycled. This is alarming. We are not sure if it a lack of education on what can and cannot be recycled or people are apathetic to the whole notion of recycling.
Whatever the reason a more concerted effort must be made by both the government and the people of this country. Most city or county websites have pages dedicated to recycling. And the majority of cities offer recycling bins or provide recycling centers for drop-offs. And to make it even easier for us they also have moved to Single-Stream Recycling to make that much easier. This is a process where you don’t have to separate materials before they go to the curb the city landfill will do it for you.
And a lot of businesses have moved to Zero-Waste Recycling. Where no items are sent to a recycling center but are remade into new products. Thus saving a tremendous amount of energy and preserving our natural resources. If we concentrated our efforts on recycling there would be less of a demand for landfills. And the majority of Americans do not want a landfill in their backyard.
One of the biggest culprits when it comes to lack of recycling is plastics. Our seas and oceans are rapidly becoming one large plastic patch. And as consequence wildlife managers are discovering plastics in the fish we consume. Plastics can take forever to break down and some can take up to 500 years.
Because plastics are made from petrochemicals they pollute not only our oceans but our lakes and rivers too. Some scientists believe that the Pacific Ocean plastic patch is the same size as the state of Texas.
Next time you are at the seashore just look around and see all the plastic soda bottle, bags, and straws that are littering our beaches. Each year we toss away over 40 billion plastic food and drink bottles.
So what can we do to try to either minimize this problem or completely eradicate it? It’s not complicated at all. Simply follow the 3 Rs of recycling:

• Reduce: Bring a tote bag to the grocery store. Use products that are returnable or reusable. Avoid snack packs and single serve containers. Stop using plastic bags.
• Reuse: Repurpose items. Instead of throwing away old jars use them instead to store nails or screws. Donate unwanted clothes or books to the Goodwill or other charitable organizations.
• Recycle: Instead of buying plastic bottles but glass instead. Purchase products that have been made from recycled materials.

These are just a few tips you can do to help rid our environment of hard to break down materials. Do a Google search and explore all the possibilities so you can have a positive effect our eco-systems.
