Honestly, I don't know why you would need any reasons at all, but here we go. If you're not recycling, you are actively hurting the Earth. I know it might not always be the most convenient thing to do, but that doesn't mean that it isn't the right thing to do. Here are my top 5 reasons to recycle:

1. TO SAVE THE EARTH

2. It's the right thing to do

Do you have a conscious? Then you should recycle!!! Do you care about the future of our planet? Then you should recycle!!! Are you a person? Then you should recycle!!! Basically if you're existing, you need to recycle. It's the right thing to do. No matter who you are or what you do, you should be recycling.

3. It keeps you WOKE AF

When you recycle, you become woke. More woke than you have ever been. You pay attention to your surroundings more than ever before. I've always recycled, but when I started recycling at school, I paid so much more attention to everything. I check EVERYTHING that I buy to see if it can be recycled.

4. It's easy

Y'ALL RECYLING IS SO EASY!!! Recycling bins are practically everywhere. And if you can't find a bin, just hold on to your recyclables until you find one! I know it can be inconvenient if there's not a bin in your immediate area, but it's better than hurting the Earth.

5. It's fun

Recycling is fun. Say it with me now. Recycling is fun! I love to recycle. It makes me so much happier to know that I'm not putting things that could be reused in the trash. It's also fun to do with your friends and family. You can really bond with people who will go the extra mile with you. I personally enjoy trying to cut out things that I know I don't need to use. Plastics especially. I try my best to not use straws, and honestly it's so cool to explain to others.

Recycling is something that we should all do. It's so much bigger than all of us. Our planet need us to be more aware of our waste. Small steps or big leaps, it doesn't matter. Anything helps. You CAN make a difference. You just have to make it a priority.

All my love,
