UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM

WHAT TO RECYCLE

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

GLOBAL EFFECTS

Many people think they know what to recycle but in reality half the items are not recyclable.

Recycling and reusing helps sustain the environment which leads to reducing the need of new raw materials.

Recycling cuts air, water, and waste pollution. Also, saves energy which in turn reduces greenhouse emissions.
