HOW DOES RECYCLING OF WASTE MATERIAL HELP IN MAINTAINING ECOLOGICAL BALANCE?

                      Ecological balance refers to maintaining to a fairly constant level, all chief life-sustaining substances like water, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen etc. although they go through repeated biological (ecological) cycles. Certain human activities tend to disturb this balance. For example, the mills and factories spew a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Unless we plant an adequate number of trees that can convert this carbon dioxide to oxygen, the ecological balance will be disturbed. Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They do not decompose like bags made from cotton or jute. If they are thrown on the ground or in fields, the soil becomes less porous. If we recycle such plastic products, it will help in maintaining the ecological balance.
                       Similarly if we sell old newspapers, reusable paper can be made from them. As a result less trees will be cut. This too will help maintain the ecological balance.
