Let's Recycle

From what it seems, we are living in a world full of material demands. In our day to day life we use cell phones, TV’s, computers, internet, cars, DVD’s, clothes, paper, furniture, bottles, plastics and many more. And you see, all of these things we use were a part of nature, part of earth that will soon be lying on top of some landfill.

To make energy we burn fossil fuels because it is much cheaper but it also becomes the main source of air pollution. Because of the increase in air pollution respiratory diseases increased rapidly over the years. After we use materials such as laptops, clothes, plastic bags, bottles it ends up in the ocean, which also pollutes the water and is killing many types of species or it can end up in landfills which will cause soil pollution.

If we start to reduce our use of material things, and reuse instead of buying new appliances, and recycle soda cans, plastic bags and ride bicycles instead of cars we could be living in a cleaner better world.So let’s start a new generation for the better future, for us and the generations that are still yet to live.

We all drive cars and we all fly on planes. Thus we are all part of the petrol chemicals industry. So if you really care about this planet then stop driving(or being driven)in cars and stop flying in jet planes. Well?

Do you drive a car? If you drive then you a total hypocrite. Do not talk about recycling if you are an active consumer of the petro chemicals industry.
