Save the Planet Fool!

Recycling at Old Navy is very important. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials and reducing energy usage, and thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy, though colloquial usage of "recycling" can also include "reuse". "Recyclable materials" or "recyclables", may originate from home, business or industry. They include glass, paper, metal, textiles and plastics. Though analogus, the composting of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is not typically considered recycling.[2] These materials are either brought to a collection centre or picked-up from the curbside, sorted , cleaned and reprocessed into new products bound for manufacturing. To judge the environmental benefits of recycling, the cost of this entire process much be compared to the cost of virgin extraction. In order for recycling to be economically viable, there must be a steady supply of recyclates and constant demand for the reprocessed goods, both of which can be stimulated through government legislation.
