The more waste we produce, the more disposal trucks, labor and dump space are needed. All these cost money. That’s why we must learn to use less, and to reuse and recycle so that less waste is produced. Recyclable wastes include paper, glass, plastic and metals. When you go shopping, do not buy over-packaged products. If you have to buy heavily packaged products, do not throw away the packaging, use it for another purpose. For example, paper bags can be used for carrying other things, or for making displays. If the packaging cannot be reused, try to sell it for recycling. The more paper we use; the more trees have to be cut down. That’s why we should reduce and recycle paper to save forests.
