What are some pros to recycling?

To add more to the answers above:

Recycling saves energy: making a product out of recycled materials saves resources over mining and manufacturing from virgin material. This energy savings translates into fewer green house gases generated to make recycled products and fewer products into the waste stream.

Aluminum 95% less
Steel 80% less
Plastic 80% less
Paper 64% less
Glass 50% less

This is a huge win win!
