Your recycling mission is not impossible! In fact, it is very simple:
Don't throw away anything that can be recycled!
Here is a list of things you may be able to recycle

Text about waste management
What do you know about global
warming? We often speak about extreme weather like hurricanes, tornadoes,
droughts, floods… and discuss some possible reasons that cause them. We spoke
about poor African countries and we all understand that clean water is as much a
human right as voting in an election. But people still cut down forests,
pollute the environment, use natural resources without economy. Let us see a
small presentation about environment pollution and after that we will speak
about some strategic plans we can do to save our planet.
What exactly is
"waste?"
Waste is anything we
throw away or get rid of, that doesn’t get used.
How can you help?
You can help by learning about and practicing
the three R's of waste management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reduce/Reduction: to
make something smaller or use less, resulting in a smaller amount of waste.
• First and foremost, buy and use
less! Buy only what you need and use all of what you buy. Or when you don’t
need something, pass it to other people who can continue using it.
• Start making wise
"package" selections. Plastic is a material that is difficult to
recycle. So when you buy something make sure it comes only in one package or
box.
• If you drink from plastic bottles
you won’t help the planet. Drink juice from a glass bottle.
• A homemade sandwich is better for
you and for the environment.
• Start a garden. Food that you grow
yourself does not have to be "processed" or "packaged", and
no fossil fuels are needed to get it to the shop and then to your house.
• Start
a compost to transform your household garbage (food wastes, coffee grounds,
etc.), into a rich earth-like material that can be added to a garden to help
plants grow. Grass, leaves, paper, and some other types of food can naturally turn into compost.
• If you have a bath
you will use about 90 litres of water but only 30 litres when you have a
shower.
