Select the name of the person whose opinion shows the least bias. 1. (grant): recycling saves energy, which means less carbon dioxide is being emitted into the atmosphere. it takes far less energy to make a new aluminium can out of an old one - the same with glass, plastics and paper. 2. (rex): globally, power stations emit almost 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. what good is me recycling my plastic bottle going to do? 3.(terri): if the recycling materials get contaminated, they have to be dumped in landfill anyway. people chuck plastic bags and other stuff that can't be recycled into recycling bins and it all gets dumped. 4. (harry): the process which turns old paper into pulp to make recycled paper burns as much fossil fuel and uses as much energy as the process to make non-recycled paper. often, the old paper is combined with fresh pulp from newly cut trees anyway. 5. (sofia): recycling paper reduces the need to cut down more trees. for every ton of recycled paper, nearly 17 trees get saved. each of these saved trees can absorb 250 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. 6. (pierre): we can't keep dumping our rubbish in landfills. the majority of rubbish buried in landfills is non-biodegradable. generally, it is not treated, and it can be toxic and seep into groundwater, contaminating rivers, streams and our drinking water. 7.(misha): one recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours. there are around 26 million households in the uk. if we all recycle, imagine how much energy we could save. 8. (jen): let's take a step back and consider whether we need the product and all its packaging in the first place. how about reusing that plastic container? it costs less than recycling it.
