“PARENTS SHOULD GET RECYCLING BINS”
Throwing away things that can be recycled with trash can hurt our
planet. So parents should consider getting recycling bins. If we recycle more
maybe our planet would not be polluted.
One reason to get recycling bins is our landfills might over flow if we do
not separate our recycle and trash. Soon we would need to make new
landfills. Those landfills would most likely be made on animal habitats. Then
those animals would be homeless.
Another reason is animals will die if we build new landfills because we
will take away animal habitats we would be leaving the homeless and they
would be having a chance at death. Some of those animals might even wonder
in to our neighbor hoods. If animals do come to the be neighbor hoods
dangerous. They could hurt us, pets or wreck or car, house or gardens.
My final reason is when trash companies dispose of the trash harmful
gases are released into the air. Both Smog and Carbon Dioxide emissions affect
our eco system. Smog and haze can reduce the amount of sunlight received by

plants to carry out photosynthesis and leads to the production of troposphere
zone which damages plants. Carbon dioxide emissions cause ocean
acidification, the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans as CO2
becomes dissolved.
Parents might say it is wastes of money but ask them “What about
the consequences?” We would need to take down trees that give us oxygen
for the new landfills. Then we pollute the rest of our oxygen. That extra fifty
dollars or so is more important than the world. That is why parents should get
recycling bins.
