WHY RECYCLE?

My daughter asked me one day, “Why do you recycle?” I carefully said, “Because I care about the earth and I care about my children’s future.” I explained to her that everything we toss in the rubbish can ends up in the landfill, a big hole in the earth. Everything we set aside and recycle ends up reused or made into something else.  

In high school, I completed a report on space stations and realized that if we are not careful, someday we will have to live in bubbles or in outer space.  I love the earth, the fresh air, the beautiful scenery.  I want my future grandchildren to experience the same beauty.

Humans have been given the responsibility to take care of the earth and the animals.  Each individual action can make a small difference.  If corporations live up to their responsibilities it will make a huge difference.

We should invest in our children¹s future, teach them by example, recycle what we can.  Once you start, it becomes so important, that it hurts as if we are tossing their beautiful future away.
