WHAT WHY STEPS
Recycling is the collecting, processing and manufacturing of things that would otherwise be thrown away. Recycling creates a closed-loop system where unwanted products are returned back to manufacturers for use in new products. This prevents the pollution and destruction that occurs when virgin materials – like trees and precious metals – are extracted from the earth. • HELPS CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES • SAVES ENERGY • IT MAY PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO SAVE MONEY • CREATES JOBS • PREVENTS POLLUTION • AVOIDS LANDFILLS

• Use compact LED light bulbs. Each light bulb can reduce pollution by 500 pounds per year! • Instead of using the dryer, try using the clothesline or drying rack. • Conserve energy by being smart about how you use electricity: turn off the lights when you leave a room, don't leave the TV on if you aren't watching, and turn off the air conditioning and use a fan instead. • Purchase goods made from recycled materials. • Buy drinks packaged in aluminum cans or glass instead of plastic.
