City officials are proposing a recycling program. They must examine the benefits to their community, not just the environment, to justify the costs of the program. What environmental and community benefits do you think would support the decision to start a recycling program? PARAGRAPH FORM
1. Less trash to landfill. More recycled items = savings to production costs of new items such as aluminum, glass, cardboard.
2. Most insects have particular predators such as a specific animal or bird that eats them as a major or sole portion of their diet.
3. Do not plant 100% of the same plants and trees across the area. Do not harvest all of a species during a normal growth cycle. If a tree takes 50 years to grow to harvest size, schedule cuttings to avoid extinction of that tree within the area.
