ENVIRONMENT

• Our environment is facing destruction every
  single day due to abusive human practices that
  are not good for our planet. We need to change
  our ways if we want to have sustainable
  resources, not only for us, but also for future
  generations as well. Saving our environment can
  be done through simple things each one of us can
  do. This article focuses on how we can help save
  the environment by recycling. 
• When we recycle we utilize our old waste products
  and transform them into new products that we can
  use again. Its good for the environment as it
  lessens the waste that needs to be disposed of.
  This helps in reducing pollution.  
• It is important to know what to recycle and how
  to recycle each product. Segregating our trash is
  a crucial step t, since we take a moment to
  decide what to keep and what to throw away for
  good. Here are some of the top items we use every
  day that can always be recycled to help save the
  environment.

Help save our environment by recycling paper. 
One of the many things that trees can provide us
is paper. Right now there is increasing
deforestation as we continue cutting trees for
mass production of paper and other products such
as wood. Trees can be replanted, but it takes
years before they become full-grown. There is a
need to recycle paper, as we dont want the rate
of extracting trees to exceed the rate of
replacing them. By recycling a ton of paper up to
17 trees can be conserved. Just imagine how much
we can save if each one of us recycles.   Paper
can be further separated into groups such as
white paper, colored paper, newspapers and phone
directories, magazines and cardboards. Different
things can be made out of paper, from scratch
papers to recycled notebooks, scrapbooks, file
storages, and even home decorations. However,
there is a limit to recycling paper as during the
recycling process its fibers become shorter,
making the paper weaker and more brittle, but
paper can be recycled a handful of times before
this happens.

Help save the environment by recycling plastic. 

• Over the years the use of plastics has increased.
  The storage containers we use for food, beverages
  and other things are now mostly made out of
  plastic. We at a point where there is a need for
  us not only to recycle plastics, but to lessen
  our everyday use of this material. There is just
  too much plastic on our planet that does not
  decompose. We could save the environment by fully
  banning the use of plastics across the entire
  world.

• Most of the storage containers we use at home
  (e.g. bottles, bowls, and boxes) are made out of
  plastic. There are different kinds of plastics,
  but there are three main types , which are 
• HDPE opaque bottles 
• PVC transparent bottles, with a seam running
  across the base 
• PET transparent bottles, with a hard molded
  spot in the center of the base 
• Recycling plastics is easy. There are a lot of
  DIY housewares we can produce out of plastics.
  But, we have to make sure that it is clean before
  we decide to use it again.

Help the environment by recycling glass 

• Glass can be recycled endlessly and its quality
  remains even after several uses. It can be
  separated according to color, which is usually
  green, brown or clear. Glass is also used by food
  and beverage manufacturers for things like jars
  and bottles. At home, after consuming the
  products in these glass containers, we can use
  them as small containers for other items or even
  use as home decorations such as vases.

• In recycling glass we have to be extra careful,
  because it can cause harm when it breaks. Gloves
  can be used for protection in dealing with glass
  containers. We have to make sure also that the
  containers are clean when we decide to use them
  again. 
• Recycling, aside from being helpful to help the
  environment, can also be fun. It is always
  enjoyable to bring out our creative side. Just
  think of ways to change a  certain product or
  item in order to use it again. This can gives us
  a feeling of fulfillment, as we see ourselves
  helping the environment in our own special way.
  We can always browse for DIY ideas on different
  tutorial blogs and videos on the Internet that
  will help us make recycling fun and easy.
