Have you ever thought about what happens with your recycling? Well, when we recycle we use many fossil fuels, and many different gases. That is not good for the environment. Yes it gives people jobs, but would you rather make a mess for the next generation, or just find another job? We need to live in a sustainable way.

In the article Pro/Con: Should we throw away the recycling program?, it says that it is more expensive to recycle than to just make more of it. For example, when we try to recycle paper, it’s way more expensive, than to just cut more trees down, and make more. Or, to collect more sand and make more glass. It’s less expensive to just make more than recycle.

But, that’s not the important part. We are harming the environment when we recycle. We kill so many animals just because  we recycle. This is because when we dump the oils, fossil fuels, and gases into the animals habitat. This harms them.

You see, when we throw something into the recycling bin we feel good about it. This, is because we’re told recycling is a good thing. Next time think twice. We really should stop recycling and help clean up the environment. We have left a mess for the next generation.
