i think recycling is important.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to \"conventional\" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions (compared to plastic production, for example). Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from landfilling). Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the \"Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle\" waste hierarchy. There are some ISO standards related to recycling such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management control of recycling practice. \"Recyclable materials\" include many kinds of glass, paper, and cardboard, metal, plastic, tires, textiles, and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste\u2014such as food or garden waste\u2014is also considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials destined for manufacturing. In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material\u2014for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper or used polystyrene foam into new polystyrene.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am an advocate of recycling instead of dumping.  Do you agree?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, I agree very much since recycling converts waste into new materials and objects "}, {"role": "user", "content": "It does.  I wish more people would realise the benefits.  So many people just dump everything without thinking of the consequences."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I agree with your frustration and I'm very supportive of zero waste with the goal of eliminating trash sent to landfills."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Its great to speak with a like minded person.

"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is so true.  Schools are the starting point.
