Does recycling help reduce global warming?

I suppose they figure that if we recycle more paper, then we won't cut down as much trees. Recycling will prevent our landfills from becoming so full--which they are already horrible! Recylcing is typically thrown in with everything else when they talk about environmental concerns. What's more interesting is the fact that what could help reduce the ozone levels--riding the bus or carpooling, not using air conditioners, etc.--is not stressed as much as recycling. I'm not sure if "global waming" should be as stressed as just plain taking care of the place that we live in. There's gloabl warming in other planets that don't even have people in it, so I'm not sure if it's something that can be avoided--but we definitely should be doing a better job at being good citizens on this planet!
