Introduction

Recycling has been one of the most popular phrases in the recent times. This has mainly been aided by the fact that the whole or the entire world is realizing and waking up to the reality of global warming and the limited nature of resources. In essence, it has become imperative that people be mindful of their usage of the available resources and even reuse them so as to enhance or guarantee an element of sustainability. In addition, people have had enhanced awareness about the need to cater for their environment, something that has made recycling the most viable and easy option. However, the improvement of the environment through recycling is easy if people make varied lifestyle changes.

First, it is imperative that an individual strives to be a “green consumer” (Wilcox, 2007). This entails weighing the available options to ensure that any product bought has the least impact on the environment. Such an item would be packaged in easily-recyclable material, water-efficient and energy efficient (Wilcox, 2007).
