Earth and Recycling Initiatives — Passage and Quiz

Earth Day is a special day that reminds us to take care of our planet. It’s celebrated every April 22nd. Recycling is one of the best ways we can help the Earth.

Recycling is when we take materials that we’ve already used and turn them into new things. For example, an old plastic bottle can be melted down and made into a new toy or a fleece jacket. When we recycle, we reduce the amount of trash that goes into landfills, which are big holes in the ground where garbage is buried.

We can recycle many different things, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal. To make it easier to recycle, we separate these materials into different bins. In many places, there are special recycling bins for each type of material. Some communities even have recycling trucks that come to pick up recycled items from our homes.

Recycling is important because it helps conserve our planet’s resources. When we make new things from recycled materials, we use less energy and water than if we made them from new materials. This means there’s less pollution and less damage to the environment.

Another great thing about recycling is that it can be fun! You can get creative and find new ways to reuse old things. For example, you can turn an old jar into a vase for flowers or use old newspapers to do colourful art projects.

By recycling, we can all do our part to keep the Earth healthy and beautiful for years to come. So, on Earth Day and every day, remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!
