Reusing and Recycling Project

After reading about the conservation of resources (e.g. paper, fossil fuels, water) in our Science textbook, the students set out to create a Reusing and Recycling box. The aim of the box is to encourage reusing or recycling of items they throw away everyday.

Example of ways to reuse
• Use coffee mugs instead of paper cups.
• Use cloth napkins or towels.
• Refilling bottles.
• Donating old magazines or surplus equipment.
• Reusing boxes.
• Turning empty jars into containers for leftover food.
• Purchasing refillable pens and pencils.

Benefits of Recycling
• Creates less pollution.
• Saves energy and the cutting down of trees.
• Reduces the use of oil and other fossil fuels.
• Creates jobs.
• Reduces the need for new landfills and incinerators.
