I read the passage pro/con is it time to stop recycling our garbage and will tell you about it. One author likes recycling and the other thinks we should do less recycling. I will tell you why they like/dislike recycling.
The first author wants us to do less recycling and says it costs less to make new things. One reason this author wants us to do less recycling is that you have to recycle a lot of glass to make recycling go down a little bit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says we should only recycle ⅓ of our garbage. Paper companies pay for the trees they use, but if it was cheaper to recycle people would pay you for your scrap paper.
The second author likes recycling lets see what he has to say. Since 1969 the amount of trash thrown out has tripled. We dump far too much garbage in landfills. The u.s. Environmental protection agency (EPA) reports that we recycle ⅔ of our paper and ½ of our cans. However, we recycle less than half of our electronics and ⅓ of our plastic and glass.
After reading this article my opinion has changed tremendously. I used to think that we should recycle as much as we can, but now I think we should slow down. One thing that changed my mind was when the first author said it was cheaper to make new things. Another thing that changed my mind was when the first author said if it was cheaper to recycle people would want to buy your scrap paper. The last thing that changed my mind was when the (EPA) said we should recycle ⅓ of our garbage.
