Answer

The “Think Green” Initiative

Introduction

• Following the current state of climate change, recycling is important since it helps to reduce the negative impacts of pollution on the environment.
• Businesses are considered to be the main contributors to environmental pollution.
• Therefore, efforts should be taken to encourage recycling which will ensure plastics are reused rather than being disposed since they are not biodegradable.
• Thesis: Recycling has the capability of promoting a positive image of a company since it reflects its focus on a healthy community through ensuring safe environments.

Body

1. Promoting a Healthy Community

• Natural Resources Promote Clean Environments

-Recycling ensures that natural resources are used to promote clean environment, thus reflecting commitment to high quality living which not only benefits the company but also the community as a whole (Mak et al., 2019).

• Reduces GHG Emissions

-Recycling ensures that wastes which emit GHGs via anaerobic decomposition are reduced, thereby proving the company’s interest in promoting a safe environment through energy saving (Vettath, 2017).

1. Ensuring Sustainable Growing Communities

• Trash as Commodities

-Trash can be recycled and used as commodities that can be sold thereby saving costs for the company and community (Mwanza, Mbohwa & Telukdarie, 2018).

• Recycling Promotes Employment Opportunities

-Creates opportunities for many who are jobless and lack skills to get official employment.

-It triggers the development of new companies which focus on recycling as the main form of operation (Vettath, 2017).

1. Recycling Promotes Togetherness

• Working towards a Common Goal

-Recycling encourages different people to work together with a common goal of reducing pollution and promoting a safe environment.

• Community Supports Responsible Organizations

-Thus, the company will be able to get the support of the community since people will want to support its operations because they also gain from it directly (Thiounn & Smith, 2020).

Conclusion

• Recycling is an approach which a company can use to ensure that money, energy and natural resources are not misused.
• The company can benefit from this approach since the community will see that it is interested in promoting safety of everyone, and not just for its selfish reasons.
