It's the old "Garbage In, Garbage Out" principle we've used for years with computer data but as it turns out it's kind of a natural law too. If you put millions of tons of non biodegradable trash, poisonous chemicals, heavy metals and greenhouse gasses into the environment a day you're going to get unbreathable air and undrinkable water back. If you take this pattern of behavior out it's logical conclusion you get an uninhabitable planet, game over, the end of time for mankind!
Interestingly enough, one of the biggest and easiest things we can do to reverse this self-destructive trend is to recycle, repurpose and repair our stuff instead of just throwing it away. We did it during World War II we can do it again. Some cities, like San Francisco California and Portland Oregon, are already trying to get to the point of recycling/composting 100% of their trash. Recycling needs to become an integral part of our society, something we teach our children, practice in our homes and support in our communities. People look at all our overwhelming environmental problems and wonder what they can do to change things. Well, recycling is an important first step that everyone can take to returning our environment to good health!
