How to go Green

We Need to Save our Energy

We have been putting waste into huge landfills for almost 200 years. We have finally come up with a way to reuse what we have already used. We can now recycle. You can make different things out of what you dont use anymore. Like we use old glass bottles, to make stained glass windows, and we also take old tennis shoes, and use the rubber on the souls to make different rubber objects, such as the rubber turf on a playground. There are many ways to reuse what you are done with, and we need to start using these ways.
Save the Planet
Reduce
To reduce the garbage that we produce, you can compost items like banana peels, or apple cores.

Donation Time!
When you are done with anything in your house, make sure it still works, and then you can donate it. You can donate things to your friends, or to other families. You can even send it to donation stores; another way to donate is a garage or yard sale. Gather up any items in your house that you and your family dont use anymore, and put a price tag on it, then you set it out, and wait for people to come and buy it. Or you could even just set out those things in your driveway, and put a free sign in front, if you dont want to sit out in the sun all day.

Reuse
Goodwill is a good place to donate items youre done with so others can use them again.

Recycle
When you recycle, you put give things to a place, and they make new thing out of them. Many people do this.

How to Recycle
There are many things you can recycle like paper, glass, plastic, cardboard, and even batteries. When we recycle, it goes to a place called Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where it is sorted. They are sorted into different groups of materials, either by hand, or by machine. After that, it is sent to manufactures to be made into new materials. Once they have been collected and sorted, recycling becomes a valuable item to the worldwide market. We have been recycling for many years, and if we keep it up, the world could be a way better place.

Dont Forget to Compost

Composting is an important way to lower our amount of garbage. You can compost all sorts of things from banana peels, to coffee grounds, and to even, egg shells. Also, when you compost, after a few weeks of all that stuff sitting there, it will start to decompose into rich fertile soil to plant new flowers and such in. Composting is a very important way to save our energy!

Fun Ways to go Green

Garage/Yard Sales
Gather up all your unused items, and sell them in you garage or yard! This is a family fun activity, and a good way to make money.

Walk/Bike to School
Do your parents drive only you to school every morning, and pick only you up every day? Well if they do, there is a way to stop all that car gas pollution. If you are within a mile from your school you can walk, or ride your bike there. Gather up some friends, and go together. It is also a good way to get in your daily exercise.

Carpool
If you are the only one in your car when you drive to school, ask your friends if they want a ride to school, and you will save gas from five cars driving there, and reduce that to one car with 5 people. This saves us gas, and helps others get to school too.
