The Recycling Disaster

Wales has the highest recycling rates in the world but is it all garbage?

Many of us have been told Reduce Reuse Recycle and we will save the environment. We seperate out rubbish from our plastics and paper and food in the idea that we will safe the plane and make it a safer place for out children. But with reality of where our recycling is ending up is ruins it all. What can be done, or is it all over?

It turns out reducing our waste is not as easy as it can be first assumed as stopping the use of plastic with produce can increase food waste and reducing amount of beef eaten will cause negative effects to the ecosystem.

But do not fear there is hope and with the greatest minds at work on how we can keep our earth safe we will ensure the future is safe for the next generation. Learn more
