Speaking up About Recycling Bins

Nicholas, Robbie, and I went to speak to Phil about getting more recycling bins in the school. The only one is in the cafeteria in the basement. No one is willing to go downstairs to throw a plastic bottle out. It is just easier to throw it in the classroom garbage bin. By doing this, we are adding to more landfill. We told Phil that if we put one on each floor for the eighth and seventh graders, it would help the environment in the long run. I also told him that, even though we may not be affected, our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren would be affected in the long run. If we don’t want to have our future generation suffer, we can start recycling now and make at least a little difference in the world.
