More than half of our trash ends up in our landfills, where rubbish is
buried, taking up lots of good land.
Some waste is biodegradable, which means it breaks down in our
environment without any help. But a lot of waste is not biodegradable.

But there’s a lot we can do to help our earth!

from old items to make new items.
You can recycle things like plastic bottles, cans,
glass, paper and even batteries.
