Recycling Awareness!!!!!

I learned a lot about the 4 R's, at first i really did not find any interest in my self but now i really care about our environment because i know why its important to have a nice and clean environment. It is very important to learn about recycling and to get mere involved because when you learn about something , it will change your way of thinking. I also learned that it is not hard at all to make our environment a better place.
I usually practice the 4 R's at home but now i know how i can improve better. From now on im going to put a trash can in every room of my house so we wont get lazy, and if we do we will have the trash can very close to us. I will also talk to my family and tell them how we can improve our recycling ways and how it will be better.
We can also improve recycling at school all we have to do is talk to the school and to our classmates, we can also talk to the principal about putting more recycling bins out side and inside of our class rooms. By the end of the year our school should be cleaner. We will have a cleaner school very soon!!!!!!

Davis Street Transfer Canter..

The Davis Street Transfer Center is a very cool and interesting place, it’s a waste treatment facility that serves 20 Bay Area cities. The facilities goal is to divert 75% of municipal trash away from landfills and into recyclable materials. You can recycle plastic and bottles, you can also recycle wood into garden mulch that is what fertilizes the ground. You can also recycle electronics!

Composting at THS Farm!

Composting is very fun, our CMMA class created a compost pile. A compost pile can help our environment in a lot of good ways for example, instead of throwing all the stuff u put in a compost pile you can just put it in the compost pile and the compost pile gets smaller after a couple of days. A compost pile is good for gardens and planting. Composting is cool and fun and very easy, you should try it!
