Talent 21 Project

Recycle!
GO GREEN!
Are You Earth Friendly?
• As a friend to the environment my rating is Conservation Star.
• I can improve my rating even more by bringing my own shopping bags to the store and taking shorter showers.
2-Liter Soda Bottle
• My 2-Liter soda bottle creation is a flower vase which can be used for real or fake flowers.
• The vase is decorated and makes for a nice table center piece.
How it’s made
• I cut off about ¼ of the bottom of a 2-Liter soda bottle.• I turned this piece upside down creating the base.• Then I turned the top half of the bottle, leaving the lid
on tight, upside down and glued the two pieces together which made it leak proof and gave it the shape of a vase.
• I filled the bottom with glass stones to weigh it down.• I decorated the outside with glitter glue to give it a
finished touch.
The Three R’s
• The three R’s of saving the environment are:REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
• My idea for a forth R is REFUSE. Refuse to litter
Refuse to use styrofoam Refuse to use pesticides
Refuse to dump chemicals in the ground
• By refusing these things you can help preserve our environment.
Improving the Environment
At Home:Turn lights offRecycle trashUnplug electronics when not in useTake shorter showersHang laundry outside in warm/hot weather
At School:Conserve paper – make 2 sided copiesTurn lights offEliminate use of styrofoam
In Your Community:Participate in Adopt-A-Road clean-upStart a community gardenPlant trees
Save the Trees
Recycling 1 ton of paper, which is 2000 pounds, can save 17 precious trees!
Saving trees is important because they make the air we breathe cleaner by absorbing hazardous carbon dioxide.
Save the Forest
20 Million acres of forest could be saved by recycling ½ of the World’s paper!
This would preserve natural habitats for plants and animals.
Save the Earth
20 Billion pounds of plastic are thrown out each year by Americans!
Did you know that it takes thousands of years for plastic water bottles to decompose in landfills????
Public Service AnnouncementREDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
Attention Boys and Girls,This is a Public Service Announcement for people who don’t like or know how to
recycle. The environment is important to everyone. We all have to help protect it!
There are three ways to protect the Earth: REUSE, REDUCE & RECYCLE.Here are some ways you can help:Reuse shopping bags.Reuse candles so you don’t waste wax.Choose reusable products.Grow a garden.Turn off the lights when leaving a room.Buy rechargeable batteries.Reuse your coffee cup all day & night.Buy rewriteable CD’s & DVD’s.Now you know what you can do to REUSE, REDUCE & RECYCLE.
