The picture shown above shows "The Recycling Loop". The collecters (which we can be part of) haul the recyclable items to the manufacturers, the manufacturers produce recycled goods and the consumers (another section we can be part of) purchase the recycled goods.
Most of you must be knowing the bookish definition of "Recycle", thanks to ever so interesting Environmental Science/Environmental Studies (a LOT of sarcasm intended). I apologize (really, I'm sorry!) for reminding everybody of EVS once again but I just had to write about this, being the environmentalist that i am:P!
"Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products."
More and more of today's products are being manufactured with total or partial recycled content. Common household items that contain recycled materials include newspapers and paper towels; aluminum, plastic, and glass soft drink containers; steel cans; and plastic laundry detergent bottles. Recycled materials also are used in innovative applications such as recovered glass in roadway asphalt (glassphalt) or recovered plastic in carpeting, park benches, and pedestrian bridges.
That was just to get you all into the EVS mood once again:)!
The point of this post is to inform people that recycling takes less than 5 minutes to do, and it helps us in the end. So why not? And it's not like you have to travel miles to the next recycling centre. We've got a recycling centre (more like recycling boxes) right in school. For people who haven't noticed YET, it's on the field - on the sandy part of the field. It takes less than a minute to put the previous day's newspaper's into your bag, and approximately four minutes for really REALLY slow walkers to reach the recycling box and walk back!!
Why throw used papers/newspapers/cans when they can be recycled to make brand new papers/newspapers/cans?
Why waste so much?
So i ask : Why not recycle?
Get over your laziness and please learn to recycle!
PS : As terrible and preachy this post may have seemed, I'm trying to get more and more people to join the recycling campaign and get atleast a little concerned about the environment.... Sorry if that annoys anyone, but that's my thing:D.

Well, I don't know why I don't, but I'll certainly try to starting very soon :P; courtesy The Windshield. But what about the people outside school? They don't have easy access to recycling centres. Oh well. I guess that's what cars are for.
Oh wait! There ARE recycling things on the corner of EVERY street! Those small yellow-peach dustbins! Yes, yes. I shall recycle. Ms.EVS
You WILL, not you shall! I WILL make sure i annoy quite a few of my friends to such an extent that they WILL start to recycle:D!

Btw wen i meant waste accumalation i meant ur post (as a joke )
I dont actually want uto talk about Waste Accumalation
Just making it clear cos i cant stand anymore EVS
hey shalu, a good post...sadly i'm not the first one to comment =.P
you know recycling can start from your own house, you needn't even go to the yellow-peach dustbins
re-use things which are not bio-degradable like plastic bags, bottles etc.
once they have been used fully, send them to recycling centres.
the paper which you send to school, also if you have some scraps of cloth, gets sent to this factory where they convert this paper/cloth ino new paper which is sold at various prices- that is anti-waste accumalation...
And also try to use jute bags instead of plastic ones whenever possible...
love mini- another environmentalist =.P
