I In recent years, recycling has become an important practice in many countries. It helps reduce the amount of waste we produce and protects the environment. By recycling materials like paper, glass, and plastic, we can save natural resources and energy. Recycling also helps decrease pollution and the need for new landfills.
II Many cities and towns have recycling programs to encourage people to recycle. "Recycling is essential for a sustainable future," says Sarah Lee, an environmental scientist from New York. People are encouraged to separate their waste into different bins: one for recyclable materials and another for non-recyclable waste.
III Sarah's community has been running a successful recycling program for the past five years. The community provides recycling bins for every household and organizes weekly collections. Thanks to this program, the amount of waste sent to landfills has decreased significantly. The community also holds workshops to educate residents about the benefits of recycling and how to do it correctly.
