4.The impact it had on Cincinnati is that now over 20,00 residents in the Cincinnati area are provided with energy due to recycling.

Answers to Questions after call

Rome is a very large city, therefore they must use a lot of plastic, metal, and copper. But what did they do after they had gotten there use out of these materials? They threw them away. Why would you throw something away when you could just as easily put it in a bin and have it RECYCLELED? Recycling is to Convert waste into reusable material or to Return a material to a previous stage in a cyclic process. By doing this process there would not be as much garbage laying around at all compared to what it would be like if they still proceed to not recycle.
