![Page 16: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How can Recycling conserve our
natural resources?
![Page 17: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Recycling conserves natural resources by substituting “secondary resources” such as glass, metal, and paper for raw materials extracted.
• By recycling paper the need to cut down trees reduces.
• By recycling aluminum it minimizes the need for mining new minerals, thereby decreasing damage to the wilderness.

How does Recycling save
energy?
![Page 19: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The energy required to manufacture paper, plastics, glass, and metal from recycled materials is usually less than the energy required to produce them from new materials.
• The steps such as collection, processing, and transportation is also usually less energy then the steps in supplying new materials.
![Page 20: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How can students start a Recycling program at their
school?
![Page 21: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There are 3 steps to starting one
• The first step is to get key questions answered such as:
1. Who will run the program?
2. What kind of Recyclables does the school produce?
3. How will the Recyclables get to the centers?
![Page 22: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The second step in creating a Recycling program at your school is to find out who will take the collected recyclables to a center.
1. Will the school ask a center to pick up the recyclables?
2. Or will there be volunteers to bring the recyclables?
![Page 23: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• The final step is to put the program into gear by having a recycling club to manage it.
1. Each classroom should have a bin to put their recyclables in.
2. The schools offices should also have bins.
![Page 24: Rachel Hamarman 4 th Grade. What is Recycling? Recycling is a term used to describe a series of activities that includes collecting recyclable materials](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d145503460f949e95ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Recycling Club should:
• Have the task of emptying the classroom and office bins.
• Oversee the collection in their area and be a check to see if what is being recycled is recyclable.
• Inform new students of the recycling program.• Remind students of what can be recycled.• Encourage participation from classmates and
teacher.
