Recycling Awareness!!!!!


I have learned a lot from all these recycling actives we have been doing for this project. Some of the things i have learnt from the actives in this project include; what the 4R's mean and stand for, how to practice the 4Rs and finally why recycling is so important and how it benefits our environment.
The 4R's can be improve at home in many ways; these include better educating the people at home about the benefits of recycling, how it affects them and providing the recycling bins.

Recycling at THS can also be improved in many ways; such as the school making an effort to put recycling bins in all classrooms and outside of the classrooms like in the hall ways. Leadership students can also help by educating their fellow peers about the benefits of recycling and be a role model that others can look at.For more information on recycling, you can visit the following website: http://www.stopwaste.org
