Recycling helps in defending the environment in addition to providing a lot of usable products to the community without the need for additional resources. Its significance can be seen in numerous ways. It is essential to educate the public about its importance so that they contribute towards it wholeheartedly. Recycling a product can facilitate in preserving the environment. For example, recycling the paper can result in paper production without cutting more trees. It needs less energy than to create an article from virgin material. One of the main benefits of recycling is saving energy. Energy saving results in less release of carbon or greenhouse gases which are a by-product formed by energy production, which is injurious and detrimental to the environment if released into the atmosphere. More and more waste are being sent to the landfills, and if recycling does not happen than the landfill might be right behind our homes in the future. Recycling can also be done at home, and taught to the children as a good habit to be nurtured. Biodegradable waste can be used as compost for plants.
