Which sentence in the passage contains a fact that a debater can use to support the argument that recycling programs are beneficial? Recycling and reusing resources can help preserve our planet and its limited natural resources. Recycling is when we take waste materials or
used items and convert them to reusable material. Reuse involves taking used items and repurposing them without converting them to a
previous state. For example, 9 percent of all plastics were recycled in the United States in 2012, resulting in more than 2.8 million tons of plastic
available for reuse. This is a start, but we can certainly do better.
