#6 RECYCLING

I really love that we can simply put something in a recycling bin and know that it will go to a place and be used again and again. It's amazing that one thing can cause such damage to the environment but if one person takes that one thing and sends it to a recycling facility that damage will not happen. Recycling is like a virus, too but a good one. Perhaps one day the whole world will recycle as much as possible and the world will be a much nicer place. What I like even more is when I myself recycle. I, being dismissed for the school year, have a lot of colored paper. I love colored paper and I'd be very mad if I were to just throw it out. Instead of putting it in the recycling bin, though, I, being creative, had to do something better. I cut out little shapes of the different colored paper (which has writing on both sides, if it didn't I'd save it to draw on the backside) which would be put together to look like lions, tigers and giraffes. I then glued them on an old piece of cardboard in a pattern and I am very proud of it. Since there are different colors it looks like pop art but the cute animals shapes would be something in a nursery and on a more personal note it reminds me of all the work I did in school. This is one of the best things I believe I've ever made and not only that but it's out of recycled paper and cardboard.
