Recycling through the ages
Many people think that recycling is a new thing, but in fact, humans used to recycle things in 400 B.C.! Scientists HAVE recently USED to discover that people in Turkey reused glass. Later, in 1031, the Japanese used to start recycling paper.
In times when people were poor, they didn't USE to throw things away. Just before the industrial revolution (1760-1830), people use to melt and recycle metals. But during the industrial revolution, things suddenly became cheaper and easier to make, so there was less recycling.
Nowadays we recycle because we know more about environmental problems. So while your grandparents used to recycled because they had to, we now recycle because we should.
