Hey Whyvillians. Do you recycle? Great, if you do, but my question is what?s up with the people that don't? I personally recycle, it's easy! I have recycling bin outside my house to recycle with every day.

Now the amount of people who recycle is slowly decreasing! We do not want that to happen. We want that number to, if anything, increase. So guys, let's help change the world.

Neighborhoods should give out recycling bins every so often. If your neighborhood does not supply you with recycling bins, then there is an easy solution. Make your own!

You can take any large box, and decorate it with green. In big black markers, write "Recycle" or "Recycling". Then instead of throwing away things like bottles, papers, and cans, simply put them in this box. It is a simple solution.

If for some reason you don't have anyone coming around your town or neighborhood picking up recycles (as a trash man does), then you can take it to a recycling center yourself.

Remember to recycle at school as well. You simply have recycling bins in each class, and you apply recycles to that. Then it's like your own home and recycling bin.

My school has this, thankfully. If your school doesn't have anything along these lines, then grab a friend and go ask a teacher to help support your idea. Then have you, your friend, (friend is optional, but helpful), and a teacher talk to your principal about it. The worst that can happen is a no.

If the principal says "no" to recycling, then try asking a teacher if you can plant a recycling bin of your own in the class, so you can just simply have your fellow students put recyclables in the box. Then every week or so, take it home, and put it in your recycling bin.

As I'm sure you know, teenagers and kids LOVE sodas. But a decent amount doesn't recycle them. This is a simple and easy task that can help our environment.

Now the reason you should recycle is huge. See, land is used as wasteland for trash that could be recycled. So poor land is being used for nothing by items that COULD have been recycled.

With something to think about, this was mokey6.
Keep the peace, man.
