Question of the week:

What is recycling?

short response and video to watch:

"recycling is “taking something old and making it into something new.” This means anything from taking your empty aluminum drink cans (that can be back on the shelves as new cans in 60 days) to plastic bottles that can be processed and turned into textiles like T-shirts.
