What we can do?
Recycling in Action
Students of all ages will find fun activities and project ideas to learn more about waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. This site also provides information sources, tools, and data to enable student researchers to collect environmental information for use in projects and reports.
Your Project
In this project, you are required to share your recycling experience in your daily life. Please submit your works by creating a blog telling us about some of the recycling facilities, activities, campaigns, local projects or exhibitions that promote the ideas of waste recycling.
(Example for your reference - - http://wasterecycling.blogspot.com/)
For examples, there might be some recycling bins over the streets, our residential buildings, schools or campus, public transportations etc... all those can facilitate us to recycle, reuse or reduce wastes.A blog is your easy-to-use web site, where you can quickly post thoughts, interact with people, and more. Your blog should include photos, or multimedia files and describe the recycle activites.
If you do not have a blog before, please create a new blog account and post your blog address onto our online class at
<http://www.quia.com/pages/recycleclass.html> so that others may learn your blog and comment it.
