Recycling and planting trees, an option to care for the environment

With increasing industrial activity and the demand for products, the amount of waste generated has increased, which can have environmental consequences such as the pollution of water bodies, soil, and vegetation, and the destruction of flora and fauna habitats in a given region. I believe that one of the tips for keeping the planet clean is to reduce the amount of waste. Recycling and waste sorting are options for doing so. Sorting waste would be the first step, as it allows us to know the destination of each item. For example, organic waste such as fruit peels and leaves can be used to prepare compost, which will later be used to fertilize agricultural land. In the case of plastics, they are an alternative for creating new products through handicrafts. They can also be used as planters and to make drip irrigation systems. Plastics are very useful for creating new projects. There are even recycling companies in various regions of the country that buy these plastics to make products, giving them a new use and reducing their emissions. Paper and cardboard are also used in... Crafts to do with children and create decorations from paper used for schoolwork or office projects. You can make papier-mâché, which is very useful for molding and sculpting. Conducting awareness campaigns about environmental care helps reduce waste. Educating the population, starting with children, about the importance of keeping the planet clean will create citizens committed to protecting the planet and, therefore, the environment. Placing trash cans in parks and tourist sites will help keep natural spaces and environments clean.
