Community Action

For my community action, I decided that I would make some posters to put up around my neighborhood and give to my neighbors so they know what they can do by recycling and what they are doing by not recycling. By doing this, I making our community and environment a safer and better place to be in. I think that recycling is so much harder than just throwing everything into the garbage.

So, this is my poster that I hand made and I took photocopies of this and posted them all around my area. Lots of my neighbors have stopped to look, I think that just looking around our park they probably understand that we use too much paper and that when we don't recycle our park could just end up as a flat land, which isn't what we want. Our animals and plants will have nothing to feed on, except each other which will decrease our animal population along with our plant population.


What can we do? How can we do it? How do we start? Well, those are great questions and don't be afraid to ask yourself what you can do to save our environment. Please start recycling. If nobody recycled our world will have no trees. We can also help those who live in poverty by recycling, because they can receive some of the recycled bottles along with the water we are reducing by reusing water bottles over and over again. What are you waiting for? Change the world, and make our community pollution free, save plants, animals, trees, and more.

Thank you!

self action: recycling

So, this week I helped my mom recycle. I gathered all my recyclables and helped carry out a blue bin that my parents bought for recycling. I eat a lot up junk food, chocolate, especially gum. As you can see in the first picture there's five packages of gum and a box from chocolate covered raisins.

 


This photo was taken after one day of lunch at my grandparents house, my brother Taylor and I drank one bottle of ice tea and put peach juice into our water bottles before we leave, we recycled these bottles after we were done to save money and also to save the environment instead of throwing the containers into the garbage we throw them into the blue bins. Well, why do we have blue bins if we don't use them?




 Recycling is helping save our trees, animals and more so why don't you start recycling?

Evidence of recycling

  So this weekend I was at the Sleep Inn with my curling team and we had Pizza, Pop and chips. We had five big bottles of pop and we had used recyclable cups. The five bottles of pop: Root Beer, Pepsi, Coke, Orange Crush, Sprite and Dr. Pepper. We finished Root Beer, Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Dr. Pepper and recycled them, in a bag to take to Sarcan. I still have the Orange Crush because we didn't drink it at the hotel.


 

In these pictures we have 7 cups, 1 for each of our teammates (6)and one from the next morning when we had juice at breakfast. 

 What is you're favorite pop? And will you start recycling you're bottles?

I'm continuing to recycle still. Stay tuned for my next blog.
