Energy and RecyclingYou already know that recycling helps keep tons of waste out of our landfills. But did you know that recycling helps save energy, too?
How can you help?Everything you recycle at home and school helps save energy and the environment - so keep up the good work! You can keep doing good when you’re buying things too. The next time you go to the store with your mom or dad, keep an eye out for products that say "Made from recycled..." on the package. And one more earth-friendly tip: be sure look for products that don't have a lot of extra packaging. It takes a lot of extra energy to make shrink-wrap, bubble paper and styrofoam peanuts – and most of it can’t be recycled. Try it yourself!Sometimes the best fun is homemade. If you can reuse something in the process, it’s all the better!
