Why Recycling Actually Works

Recycling is often underestimated, but it’s one of the simplest steps toward sustainable living. It reduces waste, saves resources, and lowers pollution from landfills.

Why it matters:

• Making new products from recycled materials uses less energy than creating them from raw resources.
• Recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours!
• It reduces the need to cut down trees or mine for metals.

Small steps anyone can try:

• Separate dry and wet waste at home.
• Donate old books, clothes, or furniture instead of throwing them.
• Upcycle jars into pen holders or planters.

Fun fact: If all newspapers were recycled, we could save about 250 million trees every year. 🌳
