why should I recycle???

 well, why should you recycle? You don't have to, and it doesn't benefit you immediately (unless you live in a state in which you can return cans for money). 

 

   but recycling can save the earth and even lives of animals and humans. here is proof we don't recycle as much as we should, your average American home throws away 27 pounds of trash daily.  this doesn't mean go mad recycling and never throw anything away, (also be careful because each community has different rules about recycling) but if crazy mad recycling is your thing go for it, you can even have fun little challenges to see how long you can go before you throw something away.
