Answer by Robert W
Did you know that it takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than create it from raw materials? And that the energy saved from recycling one ton of aluminum is equal to the amount of electricity used by an average home over 10 years or could fuel a car that gets 35 miles per gallon for 82,250 miles.
What do you think? Answer below!
You could start by dumping a pile of (CLEAN) trash, in particular recycleable trash, on a table. Or asking if your audience ate XYZ for breakfast this morning. Anything from Poptarts to Toaster Strudel to cereal. Then ask what they did with the empty box, did they throw it in the trash?
Explain that the boxes (and milk container) are recycleable. Then explain that if more people recycled, this (your trash) wouldn’t be filling up the landfill.
There are plenty of reasons to recycle, including the reason above. Do a little research and you’ll find plenty to write about.
