Facts of Recycling...
Definition:Recycling is a term that describes
the process of converting our "waste" into resources that can be made into new products.
Process of recycling...
It sounds simple, but there are several critical steps involved:
- First, it is up to us to separate recyclable material from out regular garbage.
- Then, your municipality (or their recycling agent) will collect the materials, sort them, and
send them to companies all over the world - and some right here in Manitoba!
- These companies use the recycled materials to produce new products, conserving natural resources.
- The process isn't over yet! Then we all need to buy items made from recycled materials to ensure
that companies continue to use recycled material in their products.
Get Green
When we hear the term "green living," many of us think of the outdoors
- trees, mountains and lawns. In fact, green living can start indoors by choosing recycled plastic products, finding new and
creative uses for old items, and cutting back our use of natural resources. Green living is best defined as protecting the
environment by conserving and effectively using resources.
