FACT! Recycling
helps
combat global warming.
Everyone
needs to play their part in reducing
methane and carbon emissions.
Why? Because that is
the only way we can start to
reverse the effect of climate
change on the environment.
Did you know
every year about 18 tonnes of CO2
is released per person in the USA
and 12 tonnes per person in the
UK.
The
average family is responsible
for about 7 tonnes of carbon
each year. But this is far
too much if we want to make a change –– and
we need to reduce it.
One of the
main ways to help achieve this
is to RECYCLE! Here are a few
ways that recycling can make
a difference and help reduce
YOUR carbon footprint.
