the problem:
Green Monsters have developed a whole school recycle program. We placed a recycle bin in every classroom in our school. Every Friday, we collect the recycle materials and we place them in the recycle room. We recycle paper, card board, bottles and cans. Last year, we recycled more than 3000 pounds of paper and more than 500 can and bottles. This year our goal is to recycle 5000 pounds of paper and 1000 bottles. Go Green! Go Clean!

Recycling helps not only our community, it helps us to be more conscious about how much we waste.
