Recycling - why? Each year in the European Union alone we throw away 1.3 billion tonnes of waste 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours. 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials. Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled. 9 out of 10 people would recycle more if it were made easier.

Recycling - how ? Sort your garbage. Refuse of junk mail. Don't print out everything or print on both sides of pages. Use plastic bags twice or even better- use paper or clothing bag. Redesign your old clothes. Repair and wash instead of buying new thing. Give your old things to charity. Use batteries, that can be charged again.
