Pollution is a social problem which needs to be more globally addressed. When we don’t recycle and allow more garbage into landfills, we are slowly killing the environment and added more harmful gasses into the atmosphere. When plastic is made from raw materials, harmful CFCs are created and released in to the atmosphere in which we breathe. Landfills are quickly filling up which is resulting in more trees being cut down to accommodate the constant demand for space to deposit waste. Zxzxz Fdfdssd Vcvcxvc vcvcxxccxv Vcvcxvc vcvcxxccxv

Recyclable objects, if left in landfills, can take a long time to completely decompose. DID YOU KNOW? Plastic soda bottles and glass can take up to 1 million years to decompose Aluminum cans and diapers can take up to 500 years Batteries take 100 years to decompose Paper takes between 1-5 months

Recycling is beneficial in the following ways: Less trees are cut down allowing forests and the wildlife within to stay preserved Helps keep the oceans, lakes, and rivers clean from toxins and minimizes the amount of water needed to process new goods Reusing aluminums allows less use of natural resources Cuts down the amount of garbage in landfills The amount of raw materials needed to create a product is decreased which minimizes energy costs over 50%.
