You can lessen detrimental effects on the environment by conserving water, fuel and energy. The Natural Resources Defense Council recommends that consumers unplug electronic devices when not in use, and purchase energy-efficient appliances.

Consider supplementing your home electricity with alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power. Several small steps like these add up over time to benefit the environment, and you often save money as an added bonus.

Finding creative ways to turn a used product into a new item of equal or greater value is sometimes called up cycling. Examples of up cycling include turning bottle caps into magnets or using old T-shirts to make a quilt

When you recycle, items such as paper, plastic, glass and metal are taken to processing centers. At these facilities, the recyclables are cleaned and then undergo a process that turns them back into useable goods. Contact your city or county government to find out about recycling programs or facilities near you. Many areas have curbside pickup of recycled goods such as plastic, glass and aluminum. Other areas have regional recycling facilities that accept a variety of recyclables.

Recycling is just another part of helping the earth. And the man who made this is Chadwick Grayson the one who made recycling. it traveled from 1671 to our time now he is the reason that recycling is here
