RECYCLING

Nowdays, it is very important for us to know the way how to keep our environment for the damage that we cause. It is because most people do not think twice about what they put in the garbage. This habit, do not think twice about what they put in the garbage, can bring some dangerous problem, especially for our environment where we lived. In this oportunity, I want to tell you how we can reduce the garbage around us. We can use recycling method, but the question is do you know what recycling is?



Recycling is a simple way that we can do to keep the environment. It is the process of collecting trash and making them into new products that can be resold and used again for human life. Although the method has found for many years, many people still keep it as knowledge and do not do some effort to make this method being realized in their daily life. The reasons are mostly they do not know how they should recycle the unused things and also they do not have enough time to do the recycling method. They also do not know that there are a lot of benefits they can get from the recycling method like they can conserve natural resources such as wood, water and minerals and also receive money for turning in certain recyclable products. In this article, I will explain how we can do the recycling method by reduce, reuse, and recycle.

First, reduce, it is a part of recycling method where we can reduce the amount of things we buy then we will have less garbage to throw away. The simple thing that we can do is reducing the use of water by turning off the faucet when we are brushing our teeth, reducing the use of electricity by turning off the light when we want to go sleep, and stop buying liquid soap in a bottle pack.

Second, reuse, it is a part of recycling method where we use the reuse materials. In this part, we need to use the reuse materials to prevent ourselves from using the new things that will increase the amount of garbage. We can follow this step by doing the simple activities like reusing the aquarium water to water our plants, buying then reusing the rechargeable batteries, and also reusing the use of plastic by using our previous shopping bag when we go to buy something.

Third, recyclye, as we have learned together, recycling is the process of collecting trash and making them into new products that can be resold and used again for human life. The steps are very simple. We only need to sort and collect the unused things, for example: paper, glass, plastic, cans, and wood. There are some advice for student to start their recycling method by making some handicrafts. The materials that I suggested are paper and plastic bottles.

Now, we will learn how to make this go well in reality. There are some efforts and we need a strong will to do this recycling method. Those are:
- We can start this work by really knowing the primary rules like what we should reduce, reuse, and recycle. Of course we cannot do this method if we do not know what to do.
- Be consistent, behave in the same way to do this method. It must base on our awareness that our environment needs us to keep them clean.
- Make some targets. It is used to make us become more motivated doing the recycling method.
- Join the closest recycling centre and get more information about recycling.
- Follow the progress, see whether your work have something to fix or not.
- Move on and invite your friend to do this method.

As we know there are a lot of problems happen into our life. Those problems take our attention and sometime make us forget that there are something that more important, our environment. The habit, do not care with our environment itself that makes the uncomfortable zone and bring some problems for us. Garbage is the biggest problem for human life. In our world, garbage has produce million tons every day and we need to take some action to prvent that causes by the garbage.

Recycling is the process of collecting trash and making them into new products that can be resold and used again for human life. This method is divided into three steps. Those are reduce, reuse, and recycling. Some efforts and spirits are needed to motivate person who wants to do recycling method. Some of the efforts and spirits are knowing the primary rules, being consistent, making some targets, joining the closest recycling centre, following the progress, and moving on. In the end I hope that you can find plenty of inspiration by reading my recycling article.
