Take a Step to a Brighter future... Recycle.

Recycling in general is a very easy, very helpful thing to do for the environment as well as mankind as a whole.  The fact that some people refuse to take that extra step is baffling when it takes very little to do so.  Glass recycling is not only good for the environment; it’s also very efficient.  As stated in the article, “Recovered glass from glass recycling is the primary ingredient in all new glass containers.”  Most glass containers are made up of about 70 percent of recycled glass, which not only saves money but also makes creating new glass easy.  Since glass can take a million years to break down, by recycling you help the environment and also conserve natural resources such as sand and limestone.  So, along with being easy, glass recycling is also beneficial for everyone.  Why not just recycle glass?  The solution to this problem is to get people aware.  The issue is that no one seems to be listening.  The environment needs us, and when something is so simple, there is no reason for people not to take the step to a brighter future.  The only thing standing in the way of an easy solution is those who believe recycling is difficult or too time consuming.  All one needs is an accessible recycle bin, or even a normal box.  Place your recycled goods, along with glasses, in the box everyday, and you’re done.  In some cases, you may even get paid for your recycled glasses. In my opinion, glass recycling should some how be enforced, along with every kind of recycling.  When it saves so many resources and helps mankind as well as the environment, there’s no excuse not to recycle.
