Introduction to Recycling

Akin to alternative energy is recycling. What is recycling? Recycling can be a process containing two veins of thought. One vein is to make something new from something old, such as making new paper from old newspapers or boxes. The second vein is to use something old for a new and different purpose, such as making a bag from old blue jeans. This process is often called repurposing, and is a different form of recycling.

The reason we need to recycle is to take old products and re-use them rather than using dirty resources, such as oil, and sparse natural resources, such as trees, for making new products. If we were to use dirty resources continually  or cut down trees continually for making new products, our earth would soon become barren, dirty and would soon break down. Therefore, recycling is very necessary for the future of our planet. The big blue marble, planet earth.
