Climate Change and Recycling
155 words

In recent years, many countries have started to report on their environment. One important topic is climate change. Climate change makes the Earth warmer. This is caused by greenhouse gases, which come from cars, factories, and many other sources. To help the environment, people are trying to recycle more. Recycling means using old materials to make new things. This reduces waste and saves energy. For example, when we recycle paper, trees do not need to be cut down. Moreover, it takes less energy to make new paper from recycled paper than from new trees. Some countries are encouraging recycling by giving people bins for different types of waste. The more we recycle, the better it is for our planet. Governments are also talking about clean energy, like solar and wind power, to reduce pollution. These clean sources help to protect the environment and we can all do our part by recycling and using renewable energy.
