Hi there!
Recycling is when we take old things and turn them into new things instead of just throwing them away. It's like giving things a second life!
1. What happens if we don't recycle?
If we throw everything away, the trash piles up. It can make places messy, and animals can get hurt if trash gets in the ocean or on the ground.
2. What is recycling?
Recycling means we put paper, plastic bottles, and cans in special bins. People pick them up and use them to make new things—like new paper or a new toy. It is a bit like taking apart a LEGO set and building something new.
3. Why recycling is important
- It saves trees because we use less new paper.
- It helps animals because less trash gets into their homes.
- It keeps our parks, ocean, and streets cleaner.
- It can save energy, so we use less of Earth’s stuff.
4. How you can help (easy steps)
- Ask a grown-up to put a recycling bin in the kitchen.
- Put paper, empty plastic bottles, and cans in the recycling bin.
- Rinse food from jars and bottles before recycling them.
- Use your cup again instead of a new paper cup.
- Share toys you don’t use with friends or donate them.
5. A little promise you can say
"I will try to recycle and help keep Earth happy!"
You are a recycling helper. Every little thing you do makes the planet smile.
