Recycling - History and Evolution

By: Katherine Garcia

Scrap metals were regular recycled in Europe in the past for quite some time. Metals such as bronze and other precious metals have been long collected, melted down and made into other things, such as coins, busts, statues, etc. In Great Brittan, dust and ash from wood and coal fires were (and still are) actually key ingredients for brick making.

Much like now, recycling projects throughout history were driven by basic needs and supply and demand. These issues of re-using materials have provided a serious drive for the economical advantage of a given community. In addition, (especially more recently) environmental actions involving recycling, are addressing the issues of our own health concerns as well as the convenience of re-use of materials.

Creating new jobs is also an economical concern. Well, not every recycling collections company has to be maintained and paid for by the government. As a matter of fact, there are ways of creating more opportunities for small companies, a wonderful thing, in my opinion (though a completely different topic.) Any city officials can sub-contract with these smaller (or even larger) companies, or even better - they can assign the individual company a specific area of town - using contracts only to ensure the continuance of services. There are different ways to pay for these services, whether by the city or through additional costs (for example: in apartment buildings) which the city can discuss and upon which they can reach a consensus that helps to serve not only the community, but our planet earth.

Believe it or not, the recycling of paper began in 1921 in Great Brittan. The amount of and availability of specific resources were discovered to be severely diminished - and forethought encouraged change. Resource conservation programs were researched and developed to great potential. These were established during World Wars I and II and, in many countries, were continued after the second World War came to its end. This was only logical, especially for countries that depended on other countries for resources for trade. Nations without an abundance of certain natural resources, such as Japan, continued their recycling practices full - blast. They had learned more than one thing from this great and terrible war.
In the 1970's rising energy costs drove the necessity of more recycling from the general population. Ever since recycling has been encouraged in this country . . . but has certainly not been generally observed by our citizens. Especially those citizens who do not live in zones where simple, accessible recycling options are available. As a matter of fact, one of the very first curbside collection programs was not established until 1973 in California.

This included mostly the collection of newspapers and other kinds of paper - gradually, as a nation our curbside programs grew. They advanced not only in convenience for the general population, but in the types of recyclables that these programs are willing to collect. Nonetheless, we are far from perfect.

There are two benefits of recycling that are crucial and more essential to our survival than you may realize. Recycling reduces energy and raw materials to a specific production system. In addition, it reduces the amount of waste of which we must dispose. Although many people have been ignorant of this crucial method of preservation in the past, more and more people are realizing why recycling is so important. Especially now.

At last, by the brink of the 21st century, the USA alone had put to use one-thousand six-hundred and seventy seven companies for the recycling business. Nonetheless, this is hardly enough. We need to pursue the issue with more and more aggression until we have done all we can. We have, in these current times, a certain enemy in those who participate in international terrorism. However, we also have another enemy that is an international threat. This is the planet earth. When we hurt her she becomes ill, we have made her ill.

By all logic, when we injure mother earth her illness can kill us - because she is our only source of sustenance. Unarguably, this is a thing we all need to concern ourselves with.
