📜 History of National Recycling Day

In reality, discovering recycled or reused materials has always been valuable throughout history. Whether it’s the “dustmen” of Victorian-era England collecting coal fires to aid with brick construction, or the invention of shoddy and mungo rags, mixing worn materials with limited amounts of virgin wool, recycling has played an important role in our connection with natural resources.

Furthermore, throughout contemporary history, wartime has always been a time of hunkering down and recycling. During a war, most resources are directed at, well, the war. As a result, residents must often discover creative methods to reuse the materials they have for what they require. Furthermore, scrap metal and second-hand materials are becoming increasingly vital in creating a bank of resources for militaries to convert into utilities. During World War II, the United Kingdom had the National Salvage Campaign and the United States had the Salvage for Victory Campaign.

Nationalism has given way to environmentalism and the desire to save our limited resources by recycling items and eliminating waste in modern times. So, if prehistoric humans could figure out how to recycle, your obnoxious roommate could as well.
