Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. It also saves energy and raw materials. When we recycle paper, we save trees. When we recycle plastic or glass, we reduce pollution and the need to make new materials. Even simple acts like separating waste at home, using reusable bags, and avoiding single-use plastics make a big difference. Teaching kids and adults about recycling can lead to cleaner communities and a healthier Earth.
