Recycling
Listen to and read the passage.

Recycling is very important in our lives because the waste we create is increasing all the time. The
rise in population means that there are more people on the planet to
create waste. New packaging are being developed, but much of these
products contain materials that are not eco- friendly. New lifestyle
changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste
that isn’t recyclable. Recycling helps to decrease the pollution caused by
waste. It reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be
preserved. Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from
raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy which helps to
preserve natural resources. We should always remember that making
products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made
from recycled products.
