Recycling Case

Picture this you’re driving and when you look out your car window you no longer see trees and billboards as your scenery, but trash on top of trash. The houses you live in no longer come with backyards let alone a single tree to let you know fall is here. You can no longer can go play catch with your son at Piedmont park or watch your little girl swing as high as she can on the playground. As soon as you walk outside the combination of old pizza and fish is the smell of the air. Why did I make you picture this awful image, because we made recycling an option! The scary part is all of this could become reality if we continue our methods of taking out the trash and letting our waste destination go to landfills. Hey I’m Morgan Stephens, I would like to take 5 minute of your time to explain the importance of recycling and persuade you to recycle on your own. According to recycling this, the United States is one of world’s largest producers of trash. Trash is produced at an alarming rate of 1,609 pounds of trash per person, per year. In this speech, I will show the problems of not recycling and the benefits of recycling.

Do you ever really wonder where the trash ends up after your mom tells you to take it out? Unfortunately many people don’t. Trash is taken to landfills, which are not designed to break down trash, just bury it. According to Just live Greener, landfills are filling up and closing at the rate of 1 a day. In just 16 years, the number of landfills dropped by 84% while the amount of trash made increased. Landfills cause a problem to our environment because toxic chemicals are released both into the air and into the ground that is our source of drinking water.

Sadly, mankind is changing the climate of our entire planet, which prevents the greenhouse gases from keeping the earth warm. Just Live Greener states, millions of Americans still breathe dirty air because there are more and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If we carry on polluting the atmosphere, it will have dangerous effects on our sea levels, climate change, farming, water, and the plants and animals .

Life on Earth could not exist without
