Recycling also improves the efficiency of the energy used to collect, process, and transport products. It prevents the burning of fossil fuels and reduces air pollution. Recycling is a fundamental part of an “environmentally responsible” lifestyle. To reduce our negative impact on the earth’s resources, we must take steps to reduce our consumption and recycle what we can’t reuse.
