RECYCLING
• Processing of a waste item into usable forms.
• Benefits of recycling:
-Reduce environmental degradation
-Making money out of waste
• Saving through recycling:
-Making paper from waste saves 50% energy
-Every tons of recycled glass saves energy
equivalent to 100 liters of oil

IMPACTS OF WASTE IF NOT MANAGED WISELY
• Affects our health
• Affects our socio-economic conditions
• Affects our coastal and marine environment
• Affects our climate
• Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea levels and change precipitation
and other local climate conditions.
• Changing regional climates could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies.
• This could also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems.
• Deserts might expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of our national
parks might be permanently altered.
