this time of pandemic like making and decorating recycling bins at home and
have a contest for the coolest bin, create posters, newsletters and skits to teach
others about recycling, start buying more reusable items for your home and for
yourself and have a waste-free lunch day. Place the food in reusable containers
instead of throw-away bags, paper and plastic and ask everyone to post it in their
social media with a caption #LETUSALLRECYCLE .
At a young age she is worried that the next generation will not experience
a healthy environment so she is encouraging everyone especially the students to
take part in this project.
The earth is in a bad state now and if it continues to be polluted humans
can experience a big difference especially in climate and everything. This is the
reason why recycling is very important as it can save natural resources, energy,
clear water, landfill space, and save money and creating jobs. As recycling
expert Buckley "Buck" Knox said, "When you recycle, you make the air cleaner
and the water fresher for everyone on the planet."
