Recycling Awareness

The activities that we did were very successful in helping me to learn and understand the matters of recycling and caring about what goes in our garbage zll the way to the dump. The field trip and various research we did, made it clear and motivating to want to become a recycler. Different ways to incorperate participating the 4'rs in your daily life are very simple steps. Such as, maintaing the garbage you throw out and simply throw them in the recycling bin labeled for that material. Also left over foods from your Centeals can be put in the green bin along with the grass clippings and trrimmings to make compost for healthier fruits and vegitables. Routinly making an effort into buying things that are nessesary and not just wanted can help maintain the costly procedures for making things that are sold. Gathering unwanted toys, clothes , etc. and saving them to be donated and/or sold to thrift stores and such can help reduce and reuse. Special ways of recycling things like batteries and electronics are to be dropped off to the nearest waste management facity so that they can be properly recycled.
