I just wanted to take this moment to share with everyone my thoughts on the importance of recycling. First of all, many of us don't realize how easy it to recycle, and how those simple acts can affect our environment in such a big way! Most of our schools, and especially mine, recycle and take it very seriously. For example, if you are drinking something out of a plastic container, and finish it, instead of throwing it in a regular trash can, just find a trash can used to dispose of recycled materials. Things like that don't take any effort at all. At home, I know my family recycles any and everything we can, whether it be glass, paper, plastic, etc. Like I said, it can be as easy as throwing the item in a different bin. Recycling not only saves the environment, but also saves money. It costs about $30 per ton to recycle garbage, $50 to transport it to a landfill, and $70 to incinerate it. I know all of this you have heard before, but it needs to be stressed how we all need to step up and save our environment, and one part in doing that is recycling. So I encourage all o f you, next time you need to throw away a piece of paper or a glass bottle, make sure to recycle it. You're making a bigger difference than you probably realize...

I agree with you entirely. This whole recycling thing some people may think it's just not a big deal but it is. Recycling helps our environment dramatically and I would encourage a lot of people to Recycle whatever they can whenever they can, so thank you for making that point.
