Prereading, Reading, and Review
Recycling helps protect the environment, reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying, and logging), refining and processing raw materials. All of these create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change
Three statements which express the benefits of recycling are: 1) Recycling is a great way to conserve valuable resources that take time and energy for the earth to produce. 2) You don't want to waste stuff, do you? One of the best ways to avoid creating waste is to recycle or reuse old items. People who throw away items that can be recycled are to blame for global warming.
