Something I found particularly interesting was most of the responses I had, in fact all of them, were female. I unfortunately did not get as many responses as I would have liked, but of the women who gave their feedback– I found a common denominator. Every one of the responsive women was pro-recycling. Their reasons varied, but all had a similar connection. Most of them felt that we should respect our planet, and the life of humans and animals as well as nature that inhabit it. By not recycling, they feel we are closer to global warming and destroying our planet. Someone even said that by not recycling, we are disrespecting our planet and just bringing about the eventual decline of our race as a whole.

To these few women, I must agree. Recycling is so incredibly important because it saves our planet, improves out quality of life, and respects the other life that surrounds us. We are not alone on this planet, and we take it, and the beautiful nature and resources it gives us for granted. By recycling, we can clean up the messes we create, and keep our earth alive and striving for longer, instead of helping it along to deteriorate with our negligence.
