Read this passage and state whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE: People have recycled materials throughout history. Metal tools and weapons have been melted, reformed, and reused since they came in use thousands of years ago. The iron, steel, and paper industries have almost always used recycled materials. Recycling saves energy by reducing the need to process new material. The amount of energy saved in recycling one aluminum can is equal to the energy in the gasoline that would fill half of that same can. To make an aluminum can from recycled metal takes only five percent of the total energy needed to produce the same aluminum can from recycled materials. Recycled paper and paperboard require 75% less energy to produce than new products. Significant energy savings result in the recycling of steel and glass as well. Recycling also reduces pollution because recycling a product creates less pollution than producing a new one. For every ton of newspaper recycled, 7 fewer kilograms of air pollutants are pumped directly into the atmosphere. 1. What have metal tools and weapons been done?-They have ……materials 2. In order to produce new materials, they have………………………… 3. We can………………………by recycling 4. We only use………………energy .to produce new aluminum can by recycling 5.
