RECYLING By: Tiayana Section: Yale Date Due: April 21, 2009 Class: Mrs. Oster Subject:Science
DID YOU KNOW • Did you know that the Sunday news paper cut down 500,000 trees? • Did you know that recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees? • If all our news papers were recycled we would save 250,000 trees each year.
HOW CAN WE MAKE THE WORLD MORE ECO-FRIENDLY? • We need a system to use so that everybody will want to recycle every where and at school. We all want our Earth to be clean right? Nobody wants a messed up, filthy, trashed Earth right? So what do we do?
HOW DO WE GET EVERYBODY IN SCHOOL TO RECYCLE? • How we get everybody to recycle is we make it fun, but how? How do we make recycling fun? • We can make recycling fun by at school if someone brings in at lest 5 things that can be recycled you can get a raffle ticket. • So for each class room you could say if each person brings in 10 items that can be recycled then that class room can have a pizza party for homeroom with donuts and /or free ice cream pass.So they will want to do it. • Or we can have a field trip to take 1 day off of school and go pick up trash with a choice of bringing our parents.
HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL TO RECYCLE? • The way we can get people outside of school to help keep our Earth clean is by having a big get together at the Mall and having everybody participate in helping clean up our community. If they decide to they will get a free meal and a certificate to get one free outfit (not including hair, belt, or hats) and 50% off shoes.
FACTS ABOUT RECYCLING • Did you Know that the average American uses 650 pounds of paper each year- 100 million tons of wood could be saved each year if all that paper was recycled? • Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. • About 80% of what Americans throw away is recyclable, yet our recycling rate is only 28%. • You can all this information and a lot more on this slide only at (www.dosomething.org)
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? • What are you going to do now? Are you going to fight global warming or are you not going to help our earth? Make a change. For now on are you going to recycle and really help our earth, because we only have one home, we cant get a second earth, so lets treat our home nice and keep it clean.
