The importance of recycling to Namibia
Have you ever wondered what you can do about the bottles, papers, broken glasses and cans you find around your homes, school or even your bedroom? Recycling is processing garbage into new products. Due to the increase in industrialisation and improper usage of planning of natural resources and raw mateials, many countries lose their natural landscapes.Recycling of the waste products helps the country in the utlisation of raw materials, generating job opportunities, uses few enrgy in the manufacturing process and valuable thing can be produced from the recycled materials.

Reserving for the next generation
To begine with, the raw materials will be used wisely and efficiently.This means that the next generations will find the natural resources.This will not only give a good repution to our youngsters and copy this good example, but most importantly, it will help them in their studies especially in the land management field and agriculture.Thus, making our younger ones to exel.As the natural landscape is kept for longer, it beautifies the enviroment and attract tourists to our country.As a result , we will earn a lot of foreign currency from them.Also, it reduces littering and promotes the health standard of our country.There will be many waste removal companies picking up litters surrounding the towns and cities to sell to the recycling companies.

Generation of job opportunities
Recycling of materials and waste products also helps in generating job opportunities to our citizens. Since our cuntry got independet, there has been a mushrooming of different waste removal companies.Many people are working in these companies as they do not need to have any formal qualifications.Once an Englishman said that a person with no cultural backgrounds is like a tree without roots. These people get money monthly enough to feed body and soul.Many of them are now able to afford paying their children's school fees which will be imposible if there were no visibility of these companies.According to the researches, our country's unemployment rate is above 51%.This is declining daily due to the presence of these companies.Finally, it is the government' role to provide jobs toits citizens since they are the one who voted them in power. To add more, people will also be recruited in other manufacturing process of these raw materials such as sorting them, in manufacturing plants to change them into useful materialses.

Energy usage
The amount of energy used to recycle materials in the manufacturing process is said to be lower comparing to the production from the scrach.This will lead to more energy resources to be suficient and available to everyone.More people will have electricity in their homes and at a cheaper price.In addition, few or no money will spent in importing electricty from our neighbouring countries as we ussually do.The country will be self suffficient in electricity and might have more than enough tyo export because less energy will spent in the manufacturing plants.

Production of valuable materials
Finally, valuable things can be produced from the recycled materials.Things like neclaces, bracelets, just to mention a few.Old metals for example can also be used for making things like cans, done by mixing it with metal elements such as tin. Also, recycled papers can be used to produce cardboards, newspaper and printing papers. We can also produce materials such as shoes, clothes, and beddings.This will eventually reduce poverty and as a result more people in our country will be independent.

Conclusion
In conclusion, recycling can have many advantages to our country such as keeping the resources for the next generation, generating job opportunities, it uses few energy in the manufacturing process but most importantly; it helps producing valuable materials. Our government should take a big step to make our people aware about these advantages so that we can have a goog economic growth.This can be done by either forming awareness campaigns, making it to be a major subject in school or funding and helping people who are willing to form up clubs like cleaning clubs etc.
