| Introduction
Environmental problems have become so complex that many individuals feel they can have no effect on them. Problems like global warming, hazardous waste, loss of rain forests, endangered species, acid rain, the ozone layer, the municipal waste crisis can feel out of our control. At the very least, these problems require group and corporate action or government intervention. The Emirates Environment Group EEG is actively engaged in the process. But there are some things the individual can control. Our waste reduction and recycling activities can make a difference for the world and for our selves.
Saving our natural resources
Our finite reserves of natural resources are being depleted rapidly, particularly with the increasing use of disposable products and packaging. This rate of use and disposal takes a particularly heavy toll on irreplaceable natural resources from our forests and mines. user.
Reprocessing used materials to make new products and packaging reduces the consumption of natural resources. By recycling 454,000 tons of steel in 2001, 567,000 tons of iron ore, 318,000 tons of coal, and 27,000 tons of limestone in a single region. Through recycling newsprint, office paper and mixed paper, we saved nearly 7.5 million trees. Recycling often produces better products than those made of virgin materials; for instance, the tin in "tin" cans is more refined (thus more valuable) after being processed for recycling.
