Overview
toc Saving energy is very important on this planet. Earth is limited on certain supplies, like plastic, glass, aluminum, and newspapers. Recycling paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass can help because they get to be remade into new things. The old plastic get to be made into new things like plastic toys, glass can be melted to make new windows, and paper get be made into new sheets of paper. People need to know that our energy is running out, an alternative energy is needed in this energy crisis. Geothermal energy is found underground, it can be from three to five miles deep and it's all around the world underground and everyone can access it (Geothermal). Hydrogen is the second most abundance resource out there, hydrogen is found in the air, because it's a gas. Hydrogen is a good alternative energy because it can be used to power our cars, and it save our economy. Both Geothermal and Hydrogen are not limited to us because they are all around us. Nuclear energy is very dangerous to be around because, it produces dangerous waste [|chemicals] that can harm you or kill you.

Recycling may sound easy, but not everyone recycles which creates a problem. Finding new energy is also very difficult because our energy is running out. Two abundant renewable energies are found, and they are geothermal and hydrogen energies. Not everyone recycles, people won't take the time to put plastic, papers, aluminum, and glass into a recycling bin, they think that it's time consuming. People think that recycling doesn't make a difference, even thought it does make a difference (5). There is energy everywhere, but it costs a lot of money to get the materials needed to get the energies. It will take billions of dollars to get geothermal and hydrogen energy from the ground and in the air.

People
People don't realize that our Earth is running out of materials like plastic, glass, and paper. By reducing, reusing, and recycling the plastic, aluminum, glass, and paper it can make our resources last longer. People think that recycling is a waste of time because they don't want to take the time to sort out what could be recycled and what can't be recycled. Another problem that people aren't aware of is that our energy is running out. Without energy there is nothing to heat our homes or power our cars. The nuclear energy has radiation that could be harmful to the body and damage biological cells and create cancer (Nuclear).

Cost
Cost is another big issue because when people don't recycle correctly then the little things can make the [|government] spend more money on something that could be prevented. For example, if people don't recycle what could be recycled such as paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass then it will all go into a landfill. landfills cost a lot of money. Landfills are used to fill up garbage and what can't be recycled. If paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass gets recycled then it can all be remade into something new. Most of our land in the United Sates is being filled up with garage, so now the garbage is being sent to China, and the price for land filling is rapidly rising (Letter). There are energies that are surround us, like geothermal and hydrogen. In order to get the energy all around us, materials and machines are needed. The materials and machines cost a lot of money, it costs millions of dollars. Nuclear energy is all around us, but to get it, it cost millions of dollars. It costs millions of dollars because the nuclear energy can be harmful to a human being, so money is used on equipments like safety clothing to protect the human being.

Limitation
Recycle is helping out the environment because it's reusing things to make new things. Our planet is limited on our resources, if people keep in throwing away plastic, paper, and glass then one day there may not have any at all. Nuclear energy is also not the best energy to use because its main energy source is Uranium. Uranium is a very rare energy, they say that will all the demands, it may only last for another thirty to sixty years (Time). To actually build the Nuclear energy plant will take a long time, it may take about twenty to thirty years in the western democracies (Time).

People
If people recycle then our planet's resources will be saved, and the planet won't have to worry about running out of paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass. Recycling one aluminum can will create the energy to power a television for three hours, recycling three feet of newspaper can save one tree, and fifty percent of [|pollution] will be reduced from recycling (Coupon). Recycling is not that hard, people can just take five minutes a week to separate what can be recycled and what can't be recycled. By taking a just a few minutes to organize everything can help so much with saving plastic, paper, aluminum, and glass.

The cost for recycling is not that bad, there are two ways to disposed the recycled items. One way is to go a place that takes the recycled items, but it may be a long drive. The other way is to leave it in front of your driveway once a week, which is called curb-side recycling. There are a truck that say "[|Waste Management]" and they will take your recycled items for you, but having the Waste Managements take the recycled items will cost you. The cost can vary from where you live, but it should be around $1.71 a month (Recycling).

Limitation
There are no limits to using nuclear energy because just one nuclear power plant can generate a high amount of electrical energy (Time). One type of energy that if found is Hydrogen, Hydrogen is one of the abundant resources available to us. Hydrogen is also not limited because it can be found anywhere, Hydrogen is also useful because it can power any vehicle. Hydrogen doesn't produce an emissions, and Hydrogen won't hurt the environment (Litherland).
