Couldn't we just throw it in the garbage bin?
While you can, it actually costs more to dispose of garbage than it does to recycle. Not just the cost per bin to empty, but the cost to the environment in the long term. Each tonne of paper that is recycled saves around 13 trees, 2 barrels of oil, 4000 kWh of electricity, 4 cubic metres of landfill and 32,000 litres of water. By recycling paper and cardboard the environmental impact of using virgin material can be reduced by 51%. 17 trees can absorb the carbon dioxide emitted from your car each year, trapping the carbon in the wood and releasing the oxygen back into our atmosphere.
