Clean out jam jars and use them to put pens and things in. You might like to decorate some jars and<br />
put flowers in them - this will make a great present for someone.<br />
Give away clothes you don't like or have grown out of, and buy clothes from the second hand store - you<br />
will find some great bargains!<br />
Collect used writing paper and photocopier paper with only one side used. Use the other side for scribble<br />
pads, drawings, notes... or even for writing more letters.<br />
Recycling means... sorting your waste so it can be turned into new things.<br />
Start a compost bin - Food scraps go in the compost bin and worms LOVE food scraps. The worms eat up<br />
the food scraps and make new, healthy soil, which is good for putting in the garden. If you would like more<br />
information about composting you can contact your city, district or regional council or to Forest and Bird.<br />
Kerbside recycling - some cities have recycling bins that you can<br />
buy from the city council. This makes it very easy to recycle at<br />
home because all you need to do is put all the things for<br />
recycling in the bin and then put the bin out on the kerbside to<br />
be collected. Contact your local council for a brochure about what you can recycle<br />
- make sure you put the bin out on the correct day!<br />
There may be a recycling collection depot near where you live. The recycling<br />
collection depot is a <strong>place</strong> where you can take all of the things to be recycled. You<br />
will need to phone your city, district or regional council to find out where the<br />
closest one to your house is.<br />
If your city or town does not have kerbside recycling or a recycling depot, you will need to write LOTS of<br />
letters to the Mayor, who is in charge of your city or district council. Your letters will need to explain that<br />
you need a kerbside recycling collection.
