What do you think can be recycled?
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about recycling is paper, plastic and aluminum. But I did not stop to think about more things that can be recycling until today, when I read some article about what can be recycled. It is not just those that I usually thought. It is bigger.
We can recycle a lot of things.
How about someone use DVD and CD to be used in art??? Isn’t it possible??
In the dictionary RECYCLING (noun) is the act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products.
Do not you think that it is possible? Recycling making art? How many arts could we produce?
The trash could be used in schools to teach children produce art and use their imagination. Also to be used in art’s school.
But not just CD, many other objects could be used to the same thing.
How about furniture? Many people buy new furniture many times. What they do with the old furniture?
I know that in USA they have many second hand store. And I think it is a good idea to make recycling because the people keeping use things that is old to someone but new for another one. It is true, because if the last owner had care about he is giving to be selling, the next person that will buy it will have someone semi new. The people do that all the time with cars. Why not with another things such as furniture?
In my country we do not have this culture to go to a second hand store. But I think it could be a good idea to starts. Because doing that we help our planet. Or better saying, our house. Our house that we are not taking enough care and is worse day by day. I think everything that we do to help is good. Because helping to keep our planet health, it means keep our life health. Everything bad that happening in our planet will reflect on us.
Think about that. If you do not do anything to help the planet is because you are thing the wrong way or think just about yourself but not on other generation that is coming such as your kids, grandchildren, …

Recycling is very important to the world and since I realized that I am almost always watch people’s behavior concern trash. When I realized that recycling is really important to help the planet and do not let it be worse, I tried to do recycling but I could not. But we cannot forget that when we work to save the planet, we also are doing that for ourselves because we need a good place to have a good life. We need to take care of our planet to survive.
About my own experience of recycling, I tried to recycling in my mom’s house but the problem started in my own place where I live. I asked them to throw plastic in one bag, metal in other one, and paper in the last one. But all the time when I arrived at home I could see paper, metal, or plastic in the common trash. And I always claimed about that. But we also have another problem, because we did not have place to throw the recycle trash. Later on, one guy came to our house and said that he will take the recycle trash once a week. He started well, and my brother, sister, mom, and the housekeeper, started to divide the recycle trash. But then the guy started to came just twice a month and once…and never more. And then started the same problem to accumulate trash and we did not have place to throw the “special” trash. And I think that problem should be fixed by the government that should make good system of it.
Recycling is difficult to maintain, and the government needs to be very active to make it work. Because if we want recycling and we do not have support, it does not work. I say that because it can happen the same that happened in my house that we did not have place to throw the recycle trash. But to help to reduction of the trash has something more important than recycling, that is do not produce trash, or… better saying…reduce producing trash. And it will be what I will talk the next time because I think it can be very or more important than recycling.

While I am researching about recycling and read more about this topic, I found more interesting things. I just read about children having class about recycle. It was part of their science curriculum at the Elementary, a public school on West 17th Street in Manhattan, New York. And the class is the third grades that have children that are 8-9 years old. They learn while they still children making it easier to help when they have their houses. They have learned how to reduce, reuse and recycle as they call Three R’s.
They learn but also they help to recycle in their house discussing with their parents. When children are learning they ask a lot and when they see someone doing different from what they learned they ask why the person is doing that. The children learn in the school and when arrive at home want to say to their parents what they learn about the recycling. The parents know that it is important and do not want to do different in front of their kids. And doing that, they help the environment.
I think that every school should have in their curriculum the recycling class. And it could start on the preschool that the children could start to learn as the same time them they play. Doing that, they can start the good habit while they are children. It is easier to teach habit when they are children because to change behavior is difficult and it takes time. Before I read the article I have never thought about this possibility, and now I think this is really important and can be a good way to do more people concern about the problem if we just produce more and more trash without recycling.
Recycling is really important because our world needs help and we can waste more time do not helping it. The quantity of trash that is produced is too much and it is making worse day by day. I think everything that does more people helping to recycle it is valuable. Our planet asks for help every day and we do not stop to listening it.
