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?

Recycling paper
I live in Iceland, we recycle paper at home. We have a special garbage can outside, it´s called the blue garbage can. You can only throw paper in this garbage can. I think that it´s important to recycle paper because of our nature. We have to take a good care of our nature.
I agree, according to this website, "recycling paper conserves natural resources, saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and keeps landfill space free for other types of trash that can't be recycled." We need to recycle all recyclable products, but paper is especially important because we use so much of it and I feel that as a whole, we rarely think to recycle paper, even though it helps the environment so much.
