Introduction

Recycling as defined by The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (2004) “is recycling is a method of reusing materials that would otherwise be disposed in a landfill or incinerator. Discarded materials that contain glass, aluminum, paper, or plastic can be recycled by collecting and processing them into raw materials that are then used to manufacture new products. Recycling has many benefits: it saves money in production and energy costs, helps to conserve stocks of virgin resources, and decreases the amount of solid waste that must be disposed in landfills or incinerators.” The purpose of this blog is to raise awareness to humanity to save our planet, and one way is to recycle in order to improve the environment and reduce solid waste deposited in landfills. In this blog we will be presenting information like: how and what to recycle, recycling in Puerto Rico, importance of recycling. The creators of this blog are Keila, Angel and Hector.
