It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Why is recycling and reusing important?
![US](https://depts.washington.edu/i2sea/images/flagpedia/US.png)
Recycling and reusing are important for many reasons. Not only does it benefit us, but it also benefits the climate and environment. For example, it makes it so we do not need to use and collect as many resources. If we keep using old thing instead of new thing every time, we do something then, we will use the same resources and not need new ones. Reducing the need of producing new things means the less greenhouses gases that are being emitted from manufactures. Recycling and reusing also reduces waste in landfills. This all around is a good thing, because landfills are harmful to the environment such as infecting soil and overall destroying the environment. Overall recycling and reusing is important, because it reduces that amount of emissions from manufactures, and reduces waste in landfills,
