We were lucky today to have Kathy Russell of Tidewater Fiber Company visit our school to spread the word about recycling, reducing, and reusing. She was a wealth of information. She brought her therapy dog Taylor with her with a cape like a super hero sidekick. These are some of the comments coming from our super smart 4th graders: Trey said, "He learned to recycle only plastic bottles with a one or a two on it" in the recycle triangle. Emily said, "I learned that there is a trash island in the Pacific Ocean." Timothy said, "I learned that what you recycle can be used and sold again." And Phillip said, "I learned that recycling is important because you don't have to destroy nature to make cans again." I was please to learn that you can leave the cap on bottles being recycled because they have updated the machinery to separate shredded bottles and caps. What did you learn today?

I learned there is a fourth "R": reduce, reuse, recycle, and RETHINK! I learned that some of the plastics going in our recycle bin didn't belong there. We are going to work harder to get this right!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I liked was to see how It gets recycled and how It gets together in a square and how It gets to the factory and gos to make new cans.,courtnee
