Bowie City Promotes Recycling

According to the article Bowie city promotes recycling (2008), The Washington Post. The City of Bowie in the state of Maryland is encouraging people to start recycling. There are already a number of citizens that recycle even there is no a law however, the authorities of the city are promoting considering that more people should recycle. To promote the plan there are propaganda in newspapers and the website of the city. This program has been announced since September last year; however, the process is slow because the city has to provide to household bins to place the materials to be recycled. James Henrikson director of Public work said, “The test program is expected to cost about $60,000 and would involve 1,000 households”. It is also expected that in the whole program would get involved about 168,000 people but this could happen in 2010. There are some cities around Bowie, such as Laurel and College Park that have already started a similar plan and the amount of recycling material has grown considerably.

The need of recycling is increasing every day. We listen every day about global warming as a part of the destruction of biodiversity. Natural resources are decreasing every day and not too many countries have considered seriously, what to do before is too late. Recycling is a need today because the environment is damaged not only by using natural resources but also by throwing away toxic materials that have great negatives effects in the environment. I think that everyone should recycle. Recycling should be a mandatory issue for every single people in the world. By doing this, we would be more cautious how we use our natural resources.
