Why was recycling important during world war 1 and 2?
I am doing a paper on recycling. One of the sources I am using talks about During world war 1 and 2 people would have paper and metal drives for the war effort? I am curious to why this was and why was it important?
There several reasons why recycling and organizing drives were so important during WW II. One is the obvious and great need for materials and resources. Metals and paper products were badly needed by the war effort, just a rationing was required so that a basic level of food and other consumeables could be made available to troops and civilians. A second important reason was that it was crucial to have the home front part of the systems of war. The government and military and most corporations used the theme of sacrifice – sacrifice by troops and civilians alike – being good for the country. “Together” they would win the war. With so many people away at war families did it willingly and many others, too. People who organized the drives and campaigns were seen as civic minded activists and demonstrated that many could organize civilian groups like military groups and achieve “objectives”. It was propaganda at its best, similar to the propaganda used by nearly every nation at war. America became very good at it during the 1930s and 40s and continues to be one of the best in the early part of 21st century. It is not necessarily a bad thing. It all depends on what effort you believe in.
