Answer:

B. It takes less energy to recycle an item than to make a new one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it uses less energy, it requires less power. Where do we get power from? Generally, fossil fuels. So, using less energy means less greenhouse gas emissions and therefore less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
