Waste, Recycling and the Environment
The environment is a critical issue in America and will remain so for many decades. Instead of throwing things away, more and more Americans are recycling them so they can be used again. In every community, recycling centers are springing up. Products are being created with recyclable packaging or out of recyclable materials. In your community, learn about recycling and follow the procedures. This will involve separating your garbage (bottles, newspapers, cans, etc.) and placing them in the appropriate containers.
Never Litter. Even though your town or city does hire people to pick up litter from
the streets, get into the good habit of throwing it into proper containers. Dispose of your
household garbage in a clean and safe manner also. Libraries and community agencies are
sure to have pamphlets on recycling and environmental protection.
