My Project

"Let's use an aluminum water bottle instead of a plastic one, Mrs. Trinh." one of my students encouraged when the class discussed ways to reduce amount of trash that we made. Since we've learned that it takes 500 years for a piece of plastic to decompose, we rethink our way of living. Our environment should have less trash such as plastic water bottles. So, I ask you for assistant to get an aluminum water bottle for everyone in my class. What better way than to live by what you've learned? Aluminum bottles can be reuse many times much more than the plastic ones. Let's reduce trash by reusing sturdy reusable aluminum water bottle daily.
