Global Recycling Day bid will help save our planet

Go green and recycle

We all have a responsibility to save the planet and one thing we can all do to strive towards a greener future is to recycle anything and everything.

Global Recycling Day

Global Recycling Foundation holds a Global Recycling Day on March 18 each year to promote the reuse of things across the globe.

It is a day for action, for the world to come together to put the planet first, and to change the mind-set of governments, businesses, communities and individuals around the world, to see recyclables as a resource.

The day is a recycling initiative that encourages us all to look at our trash in a new light.

There are several ways to recycle that allow some materials to be reused multiple times.

Recycling is great for us and the environment because it lessens the energy we use, enhances the quality of water and air we breathe, and combats climate change.

It also reduces using new raw materials to create new products — saving money and natural resources.
