Recycling is a big step for us to help out with global warming. Recycling is taking a product you won’t use anymore and use it for something else. It’s very important for everyone to recycle. At Springville Junior High, each classroom has a recycling box. Teachers encourage their students to recycle all their old assignments.
“The attitude of people saying, ‘Just one can won’t make a difference’ is not true. It will make a difference,” the art teacher, Mr. Gillespie, said. Shayla Witney, a student at Springville Junior High said, “It’s important to recycle because if you don’t then everything just goes to waste.”
Students recycle anytime they can; they say it’s safe for the environment. “It’s important that we recycle everything we can so we can preserve our resources,” Mrs. Murdock, the finance secretary, said. She gets a check every month from recycling that helps support the journalism class. The money from recycling provides funds to buy equipment such as cameras and computers for the journalism students to use.
Recycling other products, like soda bottles saves energy when you use it to make new products. We can all prevent that if we just all put in the effort to recycle and not litter. We have a dumpster at the south side of the school, and everyone is invited to come and recycle your paper, like newspapers and old phone books. One person can make a difference.
