Your thoughts on landfills just got worse.

Thus far into writing ‘Simply Recycle’, I have focused solely on the education, effects, and benefits of recycling paper or plastic. A huge reason why recycling these items is essential is the detrimental effect of landfills across our globe when these types of materials aren’t thoughtfully taken to be created for reuse. Though these plots of land populate these types of materials, electronic waste or ‘E-Waste’ is just as guilty of a factor when not recycled and found within this common toxic property. Unlike paper or plastic, which virtually always have available bins or centers to make recycling a natural habit, our world still struggles with the process of disposing our dated electronical devices. Brad Roderick, Vice President of InkCycle, discusses this issue within the following video.

Recycling is simple, yet with the continuous output of new technology, the elimination of landfills will seem impossible if we aren't willing to settle for the oringinal iphone over each new generation of mobile devices or be content with a 42" plasma television instead of buying one that's only a few inches thicker. Our entrance into the "Green Movement" has begun, yet if our human species expects us to survive in these conditions without fully committing to something as simple as recycling, we won't be able to progress let alone endure a sustainable life any longer.
