The Importance of Recycling
There are many advantages to recycling. Many people see recycling as a huge hassle or a big time consumer; when the actuality of it is, it’s extremely simple and beneficial. Recycling is a process that turns materials that most would throw away, to be reused and turned into valuable resources once again.

More damage will be done to a whole other world underwater. This problem walks hand in hand with marine wildlife being in danger by getting tangled and caught in our garbage that is ending up in the ocean.

Animals and other living things would not be losing their natural habitats, and our world would simply be left more so in it’s natural state. Most importantly, our plants are our own source of oxygen! By cutting this out, we are cutting our own lives short by eliminating sources of oxygen. With every ton of paper that is recycled,
