Did you know that over 80% of rubbish that is thrown away can be recycled? Over half of the rubbish that is collected from residential homes are recycled and turned into reusable products, depending on the compound. By simply throwing recyclables in the green bins, you are doing your small part for the planet. You are helping reduce green house emissions.
So what else can be done for the environment? As a school teacher, we teach our students to walk gently on our earth, and if at all possible, limit the use of small items like coffee cups, plastic water bottles and lunch wrappers. We all share a responsibility to ourselves and our planet.
Projects – One project we decided as a class to undertake was the "Be friendly to this Earth" campaign. The project is about raising awareness of take away items we purchase, and discuss this with our family and friends. Our class decided that "Coffee cups" were going to be item we focus on. With many parents purchasing at least a coffee during the day, the number of paper cups add up to over 300 a year. Take into consideration that after 10 years, the total is 3000, you can see how one simple action can do something good to the environment.
