WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RECYCLE?
Embedded Files
Recycling is the process of turning things that are about to be thrown away into something that can be used again. Reducing the amount of waste in landfills around the world is crucial since they contaminate the land, water, and air on Earth.
Recycling also contributes to the preservation of natural resources, or substances that are found naturally and used to create goods, such as paper made from trees. We run the risk of exhausting (using up) our natural resources when we don't recycle and reuse.
HOW CAN WE REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE IN THE CLASSROOM?
Reduce the amount of products you buy, use and throw away
Set up a recycling bin. Your home should be equipped with recycling bins throughout the house. Make it easy to separate recyclables from other trash.
Recycle as many cans, bottles, books, metal, aluminum, glass, newspapers and electronics you can
Reuse things as much as you can – turn that old t-shirt into a car rag!
Shut off the water when brushing your teeth
Instead of paper napkins, use a washcloth for each member of the family. Keep the washcloths in a drawer for the week and use them at each meal. Wash them as needed. This can encourage the whole family to stop buying disposable paper products altogether.
Unplug chargers for your cell phone when not using it
Put your PC to sleep instead of leaving it running with the screen on
Turn off lights you are not using
