Ok I like what you said a lot. I think we can build a good flow because you talked about what you can and cannot recycle and stay on the topic again of why we recycle. People can see what to recycle but then often don't even know why they are doing it.

We have learned we can reduce, reuse, and recycle, and we now know what we can recycle but do we know why we recycle? I think it is fundamental for students to recycle within their school, their community and their homes as well. It is important to know why you are taking part in this important action to save our home the earth.
Recycling saves money, energy, reduces global warming, and reduces air pollution. Those are just some of the reasons why it is so important to recycle. I want to show students the digital story of why we recycle which has strong images in it and then discuss within the class how we plan to change our current habits into earth friendly habits. Such as making sure water is turned all the way off to save energy and taking time to really think about all that we are throwing away. We are going on a virtual field trip to Recycling City, through this field trip, we visit dumptown and watch the citizens turn their city around. We see families like the Savemores teach the community the importance of recycling. I want to students to grasp we have one earth and it is very important for the future of our students that we teach them to take care of our one earth.
