Importance of Recycling

We use resources from our planet to make things like toys, cars, dishes,

houses, and so much more! This is a good thing. Our Earth has been good to us

and now it’s time to return the favor!

We mix resources like wood, oil, and minerals from the Earth with other

things to create the stuff we use every day. The problem is, when we do this,

we create something that stays around forever. Items such as plastic won’t

decompose, or break down. The problem with this is that most people just

throw it away when they are finished with it. Where does it all go?

Landfills are places where trash is taken and dumped off. This space is

limited and when we fill it up we have to find somewhere else to take the

garbage. There is a solution, though, and that is to recycle. Recycling means that

we reuse it or turn it into a new product. This keeps it from going into landfills

and just sitting there.

Many things that we use each day can be recycled. We can turn writing

paper or newspapers into new types of paper. An aluminum can, can be melted

down and turned into a new one. Glass can be melted and used as jewelry,

mirrors, counter tops and many other things.

Recycling is not hard to do. It just takes time to sort the materials into

different piles and take them to a recycling center. However, many cities have

made it easy by offering a recycling service where they come to your house

and pick up the material. What will you do? How do you recycle?

�READ�REFLECT�REPEAT� NAME:

Reusing Trash?

Have you ever wondered where all the trash goes when the garbage

truck comes and takes it away? It is taken to a place called a landfill. A landfill is a

place where they pile garbage, smash it up, and then bury it. This can be harmful

to us and animals. But what if we could reuse that stuff? Well, the good news is,

we can!

If you have something that you don’t want anymore or you have

outgrown, then you can give it to someone or donate it. Maybe your family is

getting new furniture? They can sell the old furniture and someone else can

reuse it. Most things do not have to be thrown away.

Another option for our stuff is to recycle it. Most of the things we use

everyday can be recycled. If you think about it, you can probably put most of

your trash items in one of the following categories: plastics, metals, glass, or

paper. All of these things are easy to recycle.

Recycling is where the items are melted or broken down and made into

something new. We are basically reusing the things that we would have thrown

away. This is important because it keeps that stuff from sitting in a landfill and

staying there forever!

Can you imagine wearing an empty milk jug as a shirt? Once the milk jugs

are cut into tiny pieces, they can be used to make shirts, mittens, and other

fabrics. Aluminum, like soda cans, can be used for car parts and bicycles. Glass

can be made into tiles used for floors, artwork, and jewelry. Recycling protects

our Earth, animals, and us…and that is pretty cool!
