Recycling and its impact on the environment - ecological actions

The process of segregation at home, in the office, in institutions, as well as saving water, electricity or gas are actions that support the ecological system. Compounds released into the air contribute to the formation of acid rain, the greenhouse effect, dust and smog. They can also cause health problems: migraines, allergies or breathing difficulties.

Selective waste collection and recycling have a positive impact on environmental protection. Ecological products made from recycling are gaining popularity due to the reduced amount of pollution.
