How does Reducing, Reusing and Recycling my waste benefit the environment?
Reducing, reusing and recycling your waste benefits the environment in a number of ways. Firstly, it saves energy. For example, making an aluminium can from recycled materials uses 20 times less energy than making it from its raw materials.
Reducing, reusing and recycling waste also reduces the risk of climate change. For example, you can reduce food and garden waste by composting it to make a soil conditioner that helps your flowers and plants to grow. If food and garden waste is not composted, it usually breaks down without enough air which produces greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
