Why We Should Recycle

Imagine a world where every street, every river, and every park is free of plastic waste. That world is possible, but only if we act.

I believe that recycling should become a daily habit for every single one of us, not just a slogan we hear once a year.

First, recycling reduces the amount of waste that ends up in our rivers and oceans, protecting the fish and wildlife that depend on clean water.

Second, recycling saves energy — producing goods from recycled materials uses far less energy than starting from scratch.

Some people might say that one person's effort won't make a difference, but small habits, repeated by millions of people, create massive change.

So today, I'm asking you to start with one simple step: separate your plastic waste this week, and see how easy it truly is.
