Give your garbage a new home

Recycling is a great idea, but before you throw your garbage into a recycling bin, stop and think. There are lots of other things you can do with your garbage.

·                  How about giving your old books, toys, or clothes to a charity? The charity will sell your old things to make money.

·                  Why not take old boxes, wrapping paper, greeting cards, and ribbons to a local school? Teachers will use them for art classes.

·                  What about taking old boxes and newspapers to pet shops? They will use them to make beds for the animals.

·                  Why not take old magazines to a local doctors offices? They will put them in the waiting room for patients to read.

·                  Some supermarkets recycle plastic bags, so you can return your bags to them.

Your garbage is useful to other people. Find a new home for your old things and help your town.

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

Paper can be recycled by reducing it to pulp and combine it with pulp from newly harvested wood. As the recycling process causes the paper fibers to breakdown, each time paper is recycled its quality decreases. This means that either a higher percentage of new fibers must be added, or the paper down cycled into lower quality products. Any writing or coloration of the paper must first be removed by deinking, which also removes fillers, clays, and fiber fragments. Almost all paper can be recycled today, but some types are harder to recycle than others. Papers coated with plastic or alumium foil, and papers that are waxed, pasted, or gummed are usually not recycled because the process is too expensive. Gift wrap paper also cannot be recycled due to its low quality.
