Keep It Green: Do Your Part!<br />
Over centuries we have used the earth to satisfy<br />
our needs. To put it simply, we have exploited<br />
the Earth beyond her limits. The misuse of our beautiful<br />
planet has resulted in a global temperature rise<br />
known as global warming. The rising temperature has<br />
caused the polar caps to melt, resulting an increase of<br />
ocean water.<br />
Recycling is a way to help prevent this harmful<br />
action that is causing our poor Earth this pain.<br />
Recycling at household levels has proved to be very<br />
beneficial. Kitchen and garden waste is recycled by<br />
composting. Glass recycling turns the used waste<br />
glass into new usable products.<br />
If we donʼt take care of this planet, our kids<br />
and their kids will have to pay the consequences later<br />
on in their lifetime. The items and materials that we<br />
use in our daily lives such as textiles, paper, plastic,<br />
timber, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals, paint and<br />
batteries can all be recycled.<br />
So letʼs go the extra mile to save mother nature<br />
and make Earth a greener and healthier place.<br />
