One Earth, One chance
Sharon Bui
Persuasive Essay- One Earth, One Chance
Class-7

Wake up in the morning. Take a glance outside of your house and there outside was trash, trash, and more trash. That’s not gonna be a pretty picture but if you don’t team and help our Earth, it could happen, and by then it’ll be too late. People should recycle more and save lots of energy plus it helps the Earth and your wallet! It wasn’t until I understood and realized that helping our Earth is a worthy thing to do and it also helps you feel happy that you know that you’ve done well on your part. Obviously, every human being should about recycling. Well did they know that recycling saves our precious resources from being used up? When you recycle aluminum just one can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours! Also for example, twenty-four thousand of waste is dumped daily including a staggering fifteen million plastic bags, enough to fill twenty-five buses. Apparently, if we recycled every plastic bottle we used, we would keep two billion tons of plastic out of landfills, WOW! Robert Alan once said “We can help educate our families and communities about the importance of recycling for our environment, and how each of us can make a difference for better world by recycling.” Let me now direct your attention on how a ton of recycled paper equals or saves seventeen trees in a paper production, now that’s what I'm talking about! Lastly, but evidently if you recycle glass it can generate 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution compared to manufacturing new glass. It’s kind of a real shocker how much little you can do can make a big difference and now one of them can be recycling.
Save Energy, and this really speaks for itself. Clearly, turning off your computer at the end of your day saves lots of energy. Did you also know that using natural daylight whenever possible is another great way to cut electricity costs and help the environment? Well it does. Also saving energy at your

    One reason everybody should recycle is animals are dying and starving. From garbage being everywhere. Acorrding to www.humanesocity.org they found birds poisined from lead weight. Also they found skunks with yogurt cups on their heads not being able to eat. Also pelicans had fishhooks in their stomachs. The worst that the have found was they found a raccoon with beer cans on its paws there was no fur, no skin, it's all flesh. Clearly almost everybody doesn't like to see animals suffer. That's why…

    4.1 The benefits of recycling are beneficial for the environment. As a Council we impose recycling on residents so, therefore, we must set an example and also recycle our waste as much as is possible. It is beneficial to recycle and irresponsible not to do so as there is a finite supply of paper/wood/glass, etc and plastic does not biodegrade readily so unless we recycle these items we add to problems of supply, deforestation and waste disposal…

    Some even say that recycling is able to cancel a big percentage of the harm that we’re causing to our planet. Ok again, recycling is very important but it’s not really going to reduce green-house gas emissions which come mainly from energy use and transportation.…

    In todays world it is common knowledge of the issues with recycling and pollution. However, there is a way to help slow down the process of over-running our earth. A new initiative is being spoken about, three trash cans for each method of recycling:compost, paper and plastic, and landfill. Other ways include recycling centers, projects for turning your no longer useable items into recycled treasures. I firmly believe in adopting and putting these into practice in our United States with only minor changes. We only have one earth so we have to take care of it.…

    Currently in America the average person throws away seven and a half pounds of garbage every day. Most of this garbage goes into to landfills, where it's compacted and buried. These lands fills have huge impacts on the environment; they cause pollution to the local environment by contaminating the groundwater and aquifers, contaminating the soil, and producing methane. One of the ways to help reduce this problem is by recycling.…

    In the New York Times, John Tierney wrote an article called “Recycling is Garbage”. In that article, he declared that “Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America: a waste of time and money, a waste of human and natural resources”. In the article, he points out many things. For instance, packaging saves resources, reducing food spoilage. Fast-food meals generate less trash per person than home-cooked meals. Also, the cheapest way to dispose of garbage is in a landfill.…

    You may think that it really isn’t important and there is no reason to do it. But there is. You might have to pay more money in the future if our landfills get too full. If you were to recycle, you wouldn't have to pay money and we wouldn’t be wasting anything. You also might be too lazy to get up and throw you plastic bottle in the recycling bin. You would probably throw it in the garbage right next to you. To solve this, you could put a recycling bin next to all your garbage bins. That way, you don’t have to go outside and put your recycling in the recycling bin outside. Another reason you wouldn’t want to recycle is nobody else recycles so why should you. As a resident of the Earth, it is our job to keep the Earth clean. A major way of doing that is to recycle. If you know someone that doesn’t recycle, tell them reasons why they should. And make sure they get the message out to their friends as well. Lastly, you might not want to recycle because you don’t even know what to recycle. It is a very simple solution. Look it up or ask someone. And make sure everyone knows what to recycle so we can keep our Earth clean and healthy. Now imagine, what would the Earth look like if there was no…

    Recycling is very important because one of the biggest problems it can cause is pollution. Recycling can save many Americans money just by throwing away some trash where they’re supposed to be. Many states in the United States take trash around the world to other continents and have them live in poverty and deal with pollution. Not only does recycling help the environment but also reduces energy consumption, reduces…
