Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Words that we all know
We might be only children
But we will try, you’ll see.
We recycle what we use,
Separate things and you should too
Glass and paper, plastic, tin
Go in your recycle bin!
We must start now, we can’t wait
Quick, or it will be too late
And we can save this planet
It starts with you and me.
by Class 5.1

Environmentally aware consumers are producing the “3 Rs:” Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. They are buying products that are less toxic or contain less packaging, using reusable containers and other reusable items, maintaining and repairing products, participating in recycling programs, and buying products made from recycling materials.
Nicholette Calleja
Recycling involves processing used materials into new products in order to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling ) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the ‘’Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’’ waste hierarchy.
(George, Michaela, Charlon )
From the review Checklist it was clear that the school comminity is aware of the importance of :
This year our school has decided to participate in Eko Skola.We have always been aware of the responsibilities. We have towards the envirment. However, we have now become members of this programme and we are going to work hard.
In class we discussed the 3 R’s…….
Reduce,
Reuse
Recycle.
In order to minimize rubbish, we agreed to reuse materials more than once. Instead of throwing away everything, we have started to collect paper rolls, empty jars, water bottles, milk cartons, silver foil, thread, beads and any other material. So, we suggest that all of you must start collecting as many different material as you can.
There are lots of crafts and projects to do.
Just let imagination run…………
Making an Easter craft
This week we continued to discuss the topic, started lately about recycling old materials in order to make new stuff. This time we reused empty water plastic bottles. As Easter is approaching, we decided to make an Easter craft. So, instead of throwing away water empty bottles, we cut out the ends with the help of our teacher. Then, we decorated them with bits and pieces of old materials. We used ribbons, cloth, stickers and even old socks. Everyone was left free to decorate his/her own Easter basket.
