Cause and effect.

Explaining why recycling is important is mainly about showing the causes (what recycling does or why it happens) and the effects (the benefits and consequences, e.g., less landfill waste, conserved resources, reduced pollution and energy use). Compare-and-contrast focuses on similarities/differences, problem-and-solution frames recycling as a fix (useful but narrower), and chronological order is about sequence, which doesn’t naturally show reasons and impacts.
