Sometimes even small efforts can make a big difference for the betterment of the society. While the entire world is struggling with serious environmental issues, doing a bit from our side like recycling waste and plastics can prove to be a big milestone. This is simple. For example, if we use alternate bins for disposing off different types of waste material, it can help recycle the non-biodegradable waste like plastic. This would be beneficial for the environment.
In many countries, people get paid for recycling materials, especially plastic bottles and other waste items, which encourage them to get habituated to the process of recycling. It has also helped in raising awareness among the people about the need to recycle and protect our environment.
The type of waste one can recycle also depends on his/her location. Some people recycle paper, cardboard, glass bottles, cans and batteries while others in other parts of an area reuse clothes, shoes, mobiles phones and other items used in our day to day life by recycling them. Creating a compost bin for edible waste like meat, vegetables, fruits and other garden waste is also a good practice which helps to recycle these waste. Once you get habituated to this process you will find it difficult to throw away things which can be recycled.
While weather patterns are changing everywhere, which are having drastic effects on the agriculture and farming practices of any location, adopting the practice of recycling waste products can prove to be very helpful. One can prevent the release of harmful gases and pollutants in the atmosphere by recycling waste products to have energy. This would help to maintain the global temperature.
However, the situation becomes worse when you know about the ill-effects yet you cannot act due to unavailability of money and resources to recycle the waste products. This is the most common scenario in the less developed nations. However, in developed countries, one can still help them by doing their own bit in adopting the practice. This issue should be taken up very seriously by each individual of the society because the alarming rate at which the temperature is increasing, in near future some places on the globe would not be habitable due to extreme weather conditions.
Although recycling itself has some cons like melting plastic, which releases harmful toxic gases into the environment, however, there has to be a solution to stop the global warming and recycling is one of the best solutions to it.
