Waste not, want not -Part-II

Recycling , an old art ! 

When humans moved from hunting and gathering in the early days, of their existence of farming , they took care of their trash intelligently . Ash from fires , wood , bones , bodies and vegetable waste were all buried in the ground as they helped improve the soil .
Way back in 2000 BC , people in China were practising this as a method of disposing of waste . In fact , the first garbage dump was set up in Athens in 400 BC . in AD 1031 ,the Japanese used waste paper and re-pulped it to make new paper . in 1690n , people in America were turning cotton rags into paper , and in 1776 , they melted down a statue to make bullets !

It was during the two world wars that the shortage of food , clothing , household items, and other essential items pushed people to choose , use , and throw things wisely. The modern recycling movement took off in 1970 . The United Nation declared March 21 , the first day of spring , as the first Earth Day . John McConnell was the man who thought of a worldwide celebration for our planet , when people around the globe would come together and promise to take care of the planet.
