Today, we hear the terms "greenhouse effect" and "global warming" often on the news, in magazines, newspapers etc.
There is enough evidence to prove that this problem exists, but what can we do to prevent it from further degrading our Earth?
Many scientists and researchers are developing new technologies, but did you know that there is a way to organize your piles of scrap, at the same time, help the environment?
The answer is simple and you might have already heard of it already: RECYCLE!!!!
Many people may already know lots about recycling, but still "Commercial and residential paper waste accounts for more than 40% of waste going to the landfill." (
Why Recycle Paper?)
"Making new paper from old paper uses 30% to 55% less energy than making paper from trees and reduces related air pollution by 95%."
Therefore, instead of leaving your piles of junk mail or scraps in the corner, you could sort them through. Anything that is no longer useful can be collected and you can either leave the pile for your local curbside recycling program or at a drop-off center.
