FOR: NJHS The main idea: The negative effect of not recycling.

introduction:
Recycling is done by everyone in the world, but only about 9 percent of the plastic thrown out is recycled. Without recycling, it could pollute the environment because it would destroy natural habitats, contaminate our drinking water, and even speed up climate change. But how costly it is to recycle has caused companies to just produce more plastic instead of recycling it. This essay will demonstrate what would happen if we didn’t recycle. It will also explain why recycling is important to me and the community.

PROBLEM:
should I include examples of what would happen without recycling?
and if I should in include examples, do I explain more of the examples or add more examples in the body paragraph?
