Talent 21 Recycle ProjectBy Hunter Boney

My Rating My rating on the textbook was a

Conservation Star. I still need to work on riding my bike more places and recycle as much as I can to save the environment and not pollute the air.

2-Liter bottle Recycling There are so many ways that you can recycle a

2-liter bottle. One of those ways is to make a bird feeder.

Here’s how - Step One – Cut two matching holes on either

side of the bottle. Either circular or rectangular.

Step Two – Drill or punch holes underneath cut outs and insert dowel for perch through bottle.

Step Three – Drill small holes through neck and insert wire or string to hang from tree.

Fill bottom of bottle with bird seed.

3 R’s of Saving the Environment The three R’s of saving the environment

are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The fourth “R” I came up with was the

word Refurbish which means to restore or renovate. We live in a disposable society where everything is thrown out and just replaced. Maybe if we refurbished more there would be less trash in the landfills.
