My Project

Students will research recycling and its effect on the Earth using the requested books and materials. Then, students will make posters encouraging people in the community to recycle, using the requested poster board, index cards, and markers. We will hang these posters up within the community with the hopes that community members will increase recycling efforts in the local area.

My project aims to increase community awareness of recycling and the benefits of recycling through research and activities by promoting recycling within the community.

Together, we can make a difference.
