My View on Recycling

I believe we are reaching a peak of our wastefulness, if we continue to waste on this level we could reach a point of no return. All of our waste is dumped into monstrous landfills where it accumulates much more volume than can be held. One of the unfortunate solutions is incineration which unfortunately vaporizes the debris into dangerous toxins. Recycling is a loop hole to this entire process, your output has no need to be transformed into toxins when in can be transformed into new product. Not only does it directly help by reusing, but it slows down the creation of new mass for new products. All in all I think Recycling has increased significantly over the pass decade or so. Nearly every home has a recycling bin, and a recycled goods pick up day. Places like the FGCU dorms have not implemented a recycling program yet, but I feel eventually this will have to take place on such a green campus.
