We open our closet, throw out shirts we no longer wear and where do they go? To the garbage and from there to the landfill. ]]> 2016-12-12 02:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143033047 cathygomez617 https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143034290 Recycling items often use less energy than manufacturing the products. For instance, using paper that is using recycled pulp, is using much less energy rather than using new wood.]]> 2016-12-12 02:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143034290 cathygomez617 https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143034651 Waste in landfills produce gases as it rots. Which can pollute the environment. Anyone who ever passed a landfill during hot weather can be familiar with the smell and flies that can be found near a landfill. Reducing the items in landfills will help reduce the pollution that it causes. ]]> 2016-12-12 02:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143034651 cathygomez617 https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143037149 Humans can  minimize the effects of this problem by many ways. One  way at home is to  learn  how you can reduce, reuse, and recycle materials to decrease household waste.  At school teachers, parents, and students can  all make a difference in  reducing waste at school. Focus on the "3 R's" of waste reduction- reduce, reuse, and recycle.  We can  all do our part.]]> 2016-12-12 03:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143037149 cathygomez617 https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143037450 2016-12-12 03:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cathygomez617/rq4b5qmgu706/wish/143037450
