The text above emphasizes the need for people to recycle their waste. Why is recycling
important? Improper waste disposal and the increasing amount of trash/garbage produced are
one of the major problems faced by people not only in our community but also in the whole
world. Problems on improper waste disposal have caused other problems such as clogged
drainage or canals, flooding and diseases. Hence, there is a need for people to find ways on
how to address these problems because it is our responsibility to protect our environment.One
of these ways is to apply the 3R – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
