Yet, she and I and the billions of living souls in the world do not realize that we, too, practice cruelties. We do no need to fly to Africa and kill an elephant to be heartless. Each time we throw our trash on the street, in the forest or into the river, we are polluting the environment. We, in our daily life, often cause indirect damages to nature and other living things around us. If she has taken a minute to put the empty Cheetos bag in a recycle bin, if the owners of that 45,000 tons of plastic recycled them, then the oceans would not be so heavily polluted, the 30,000 seal bodies would not be lying dead on the coast.
Recycling is one of the answers, the cures to water pollution.
Recycling can also reduce air pollution. In another word, every ton of paper made from recycled pulp keeps approximately 60 pounds of air pollutants out of the atmosphere. Recycling has and will continue to help us control air and water pollution. We hunted and fished everyday for food. I looked at my father then at the land, trying to imagine a dense, handsome jungle.
