The Battle of Cold Harbor was a sharp defeat for the Union and a blow to Northern morale, but Grant was not ready to give up. He turned away from Lee and Richmond and headed in a new direction, toward Petersburg.
Recycling Plastics Conserves Energy and Natural Resources. Recycling plastics reduces the amount of energy and natural resources (such as water, petroleum and natural) needed to create virgin plastic.
Recycling helps us make good use of our resources. In nature there are lots of animals responsible for recycling. Some animals eat dead animals or carrion. They are called scavengers. They help break down or reduce organic material into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are then eaten by decomposers. Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. Nitrogen, carbon and other nutrients can then be used again by plants and animals. Without decomposers and scavengers, the world would be covered with dead plants and animals!
