If it’s not the score you’re aiming for, check out our sample answer. Here it is: 💬 There are a few big issues that could happen if people stop recycling. First of all, more trash will END UP in landfills, which is a huge problem. Landfills will FILL UP faster, and that means we’ll need even more space to store all the waste, which isn’t sustainable. Plus, when things decompose in landfills, they release harmful gases, like methane, that contribute to climate change. Another issue is that a lot of materials, like plastic and metal, could just END UP sitting in the environment forever. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to BREAK DOWN, so if we don’t recycle it, it could pollute oceans, rivers, and landscapes, harming wildlife in the process. Not recycling also means we’re wasting valuable resources. Materials like paper, metal, and glass can be reused, but if we throw them away instead, we need to DIG UP more raw materials, which takes energy and contributes to deforestation and pollution. In the long run, that could lead to resource shortages. So, in short, if we don’t recycle, we’ll have more waste, more pollution, and we’ll USE UP resources faster than we can replenish them.
