Recycling is important because it helps the earth.
You may have been out shopping with your mom
and dad and noticed a special symbol on some
things they buy like cleaning products or garbage
bags. This symbol means that a product is a
recycled product.

Recycling helps the earth and makes the world a

better place to live in. By recycling items you do not
need any more new things to be made. By using
these new recycled products you will save trees
and other important natural resources because raw
materials will not be used to produce products any
longer. 5
There are many things that can be recycled:

• Cars
• Steel products
• Tyres
• Rubber products
• Glass
• Plastic
• Milk jugs
• Computers
• Cell Phones
• Food and Paint Cans
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Computers

By recycling unwanted products you are able to not only stop the overflow
of trash but you are able to make new products. If your parents own a car
and decide to get a new one, the old one can be recycled and the recycled
steel can make a new car.
