| The Benefits of Recycling When products are made using recovered rather than virgin materials, less energy is used during manufacturing, and consequently fewer pollutants are emitted. In saving energy and reducing air and water pollution, recycling also reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change. |
| Recycling Rechargeable Batteries Don't throw batteries in the trash. They should be taken to a toxic waste disposal area, if at all possible. When we throw batteries in the trash for landfill disposal, we run the risk of letting the metals seep into the ground and eventually into the food chain. |
| Carbon Dioxide Pie Between 1950 and 1990, total global emissions of carbon dioxide increased from 6.4 to 22.4 billion tons. |
| Recycling Saves Our Environment Recycling reduces the risks of air and water pollution from manufacturing processes. |
