The Connection Between Recycling and Alternative Energy
One of the most exciting things about recycling as a social phenomena, is the ability of waste reduction schemes to help foster other green technologies and programs. Given the serious social, climatological and political ramifications of reliance upon fossil fuels in North America, anything that helps encourage the use of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, tidal, geothermal and hydro power is a massive benefit to society.
The connection between recycling and alternative energy, aside from both being green solutions to waste and pollution problems, is political as well as personal. For instance, someone who is motivated to be passionate about recycling is likely to be an advocate of carbon-neutral power. This is right for governments as well as individuals. There are even technologies that can really produced bio-fuel from previously landfilled materials such as plastic and organic-waste derived methane.
