Recycling saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. If 1/3 of trash in landfills was recycled, it could save rainforests being cut down at a rate of 100 acres per minute and prevent garbage islands twice the size of Texas from forming in oceans. Recycling is easy through single stream programs that don't require sorting, so people must start recycling immediately to help sustain the planet.
