"Recycling is both significant to people as well as to the environment. It helps reduce the need for mining, quarrying and logging. These are all activities that harshly pollute the air and water of our planet. Recycling also saves energy and reduces greenhouse gases.
All of these things cumulate to help combat climate change, which helps preserve the planet for future generations." WorldAtlas .
