It’s Global Recycling Day today, Friday March 18th 2022. And we want to share the importance of ‘Saving The Planet.’
Whilst most of you do your utmost to segregate litter now, it’s still really useful knowing some important facts about why we need to push it some more:
‘Every year, the Earth yields billions of tons of natural resources and at some point, in the not too distant future, it will run out.’
With tragic wildfires happening and icecaps melting – ‘The last decade has been the hottest on record, and we are now facing a climate emergency of unparalleled proportions. If we don’t make significant and rapid changes, we will see continued rising global temperatures, the melting of icecaps, continents on fire and rapid deforestation.’
But we have goals we can achieve, especially working alongside the ‘UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, 2030’.
There’s some super useful information and resources on https://www.globalrecyclingday.com/ – including #plasticpolution and also brilliant Educational Materials. You can also nominate your #recyclinghero here, https://www.globalrecyclingday.com/recycling-heroes/
