RECYCLING
Americans used to live in a "throw away" society. Until recently, no one
was too worried about the enormous consumption of electricity, aluminum,
paper, iron and other materials. For a long time Americans lived as if natural
resources would last forever. However, higher prices, especially for oil, have
made people more aware of how much they use. As a consequence, a
"recycling" movement has begun to use valuable materials again and again. In
spite of the advantages, sometimes it's a lot of trouble to recycle. People are
expected to drop off their old newspapers at one place, their glass bottles at
another, and their metal cans, at a third. In addition, for many industries it's
cheaper to use new material than to recycle the old, but the "recycle" attitude
is growing.
