597 - What is recycling, and why is it important?
Recycling is the process of turning old or used things into new things. This helps to protect the Earth by:
- Saving natural resources (like water and energy)
- Reducing pollution and garbage
- Conserving space in landfills
Think of it like this: When you recycle a plastic bottle, it can become a new toy or another bottle, instead of being thrown away and ending up in a big pile of trash.
By recycling, you're helping to keep our planet clean and make sure we have enough resources for the future. It's like doing a small job to help the Earth, and it makes a big difference when we all do it together.
