HOW RECYCLING TRASH IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

When we recycle, used materials are converted into new products, reducing the need to
consume natural resources.

If used materials are not recycled, new products are made by extracting fresh, raw materials
from the earth, through mining and forestry.  Recycling helps conserve important raw
materials and protects natural habitats for the future.
Recycling helps protect the environment

Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and
processing raw materials. All of these create substantial air and water pollution.
As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle
climate change.

7. The Writing (Essay of 10 lines) from page 24

someone who has made a big difference in my life is my dad, he has taught me the value of
honesty, I deeply believe that all the good works that one does the life and the world will
give you better things, it also makes you feel good about yourself and how you doing your
life, in addition he also taught me that things have to value them, he has been a person who
has touched hard to earn a living so i think that in this life the kindness and generosity
toward others should be part of our being.

That make me thinks that There are going to be people along the way who will try to
undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.

But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday
when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you will know that it was you and
the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the
world.
