Fill in the gaps to
complete the points of view below. The first letter of each word has
been given to you.
1.The article “The
recycling controversy” by Maverick agree
that some studies have shown that collecting recyclables, preparing
them, and converting them into new products can consume more energy
and cause more pollution than using fresh materials. I probably
agree with this because not recycling
means having infinite natural resources.
2. An article by
Mary Bauer on the negative effects of recycling paper said
that recycling paper may save only 28% of the energy used for making
virgin paper. Therefore, I believe that
before we recycle a certain material we have to make sure it is worth
it.
3. An article from
the magazine The Economist says that
recycling has many benefits. I absolutely
agree with
that because among other things it reduces the amount of waste in
landfills.
