Write about the things your family throws away.  What sort of things go in the garbage?  What things get recycled?  Is there anything that gets thrown away that could be reused or recycled instead?  What are some things you could avoid using in the first place?

A few things we do to help the environment is, we take paper and burn that.  And another way, we take apple cores, banana peels, onion wrappers, basically stuff like that, and we put it into this thing called the compost.  How the compost works is you take it outside and you put it on this big heap of egg shells and things and it decomposes into dirt eventually.  It takes a very long time, but it eventually turns into dirt.  You can use that type of stuff for planting flower gardens and vegetable gardens.  It's a very good way to help the environment and you don't have to buy those fancy potting soils that you get at the super market!

something we could do without is paper plates.  We could just use our re-usable metal ones.  That way we wouldn't have to use so much garbage. 

We throw away some plastic, not much, but some.  That could really be recycled.  We burn cardboard.  That could be recycled.  And we sometimes do foam.  That could be recycled too.
