World Recycling Day is a holiday created out of concern for environmental education in the recovery of raw materials from waste and the promotion of proper waste separation.
Recycling is one way of protecting the environment; it involves reusing waste to make new products. Such a process is difficult and time-consuming, but it is worth investing in because it minimises the amount of waste produced. By recycling it, the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is reduced, the contamination of soil and water is reduced and the exploitation of various natural resources is restricted.
