Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

This morning Alex from Devon Recycling came to talk about RRR. We found out that glass was made out of sand and this is non renewable. Paper is made from trees [wood,forest]but is also reducing animal habitats is letting out oxogen thats bad for the humans llke us. We also learnt playground sufarce and pencil cases are made out of car tyres. Rulers are made from computers. Rucksacks are made from plastic bottles. But how can plastic bottles be recycled into rucksacks? Disposable nappies can be used into roof tiles. A trowel is made out of drink cans. A clipboard is made out of drink cartons. Insulation is made out of kitchen towels. The toxic from the land full is going into the rivers that go into the seas and kills most fish. To help our environment we could start using more things again, to make sculptures or new toys. Reduce Reuse and Recycle helps us to stop damaging the earth and wildlife. the oil that we get comes from the sea under the sufarce and if the oil leakes it kills nearly all animals and it can travel thoyusands of miles into the sea.
