RECYCLING



As you know we need to life in a sustainable planet and one of the main actions we can do is to RECYCLE.

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects.
Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle".



Why People Should Recycle?

1. “Recycling saves energy.”
Recycling saves energy because the manufacturer doesn’t have to produce something new from raw natural resources. By using recycled materials we save on energy consumption, which keeps production costs down.


2. “Recycling reduces landfills.”
Recycling reduces the need for more landfills. No one wants to live next to a landfill.


3. “Recycling preserves our resources and protects wildlife.”
By recycling, we reduce the need to destroy habitats for animals. Paper recycling alone saves millions of trees.


4. “Recycling is good for the economy.”
Recycling and purchasing recycled products creates a greater demand for more recycled goods. Goods made from recycled materials use less water, creates less pollution and uses less energy.


5. “Recycling helps our climate problems.”
Recycling produces considerably less carbon, which reduces the amount of unhealthy greenhouse gas emissions.

Donald Trump's inaugural speech


The 45th president of the United States spoke outside the Capitol building on Inauguration Day. During his inaugural address, Trump told the American people that this was "their celebration". He echoed themes that were repeated throughout his campaign, promising not to leave "the forgotten men and women" behind, and calling for a return of power to the people as opposed to politicians in Washington.

Try to listen to his speech and get everything you can. What do you think about him and his ideas?
