What is Recycling?

By Lindsey Patten

Recycling is important. It can help our planet

Recycling is when you take trash and turn it into something new.

All sorts of things can be recycled like plastic, glass, cardboard, paper, metal, and more!

Recycling can save our natural resources. A natural resource is anything that comes from the earth. For example, a tree!

Paper comes from trees. If we recycle our paper, we won’t have to cut down so many trees! Then, animals can use the trees as their homes.

Recycling also means less garbage goes to the landfill. A landfill is a place where we put our garbage.

Recycling is important. Help protect the planet and don’t forget to recycle!
