One of the biggest and most important issues facing all of mankind is the expending of natural resources. The Earth has experienced a gradual depletion of clean water, trees and other resources that we have taken for granted. Through pollution of the air and water, over harvesting forests and other damaging events, we do not have as many of the resources that were available in the past. Unless it is corrected, the inhabitants of the Earth will continue to experience the problem of not having resources readily available as previous generations have enjoyed.
This downward spiral can be slowed, and hopefully reversed through changes in behavior and actions of mankind. One of the ways that average people can help the environment around the home is through the use of recycling. Basically, recycling is the process of taking used materials and making them into new materials. By reusing these materials in many cases you are saving the natural resources that we are abusing, saving the environment by not throwing away items as trash and using those items in the world.
