Recycling
Sixty years ago, before the start of the 'throw-away' consumer societies of today's world, people did not throw away so many things. They used and re-used bottles, jars, cardboard boxes, paper bags, etc. much more carefully than we do today. Now, more than fifty years later, we are returning to the same good idea - we call it 'recycling'.
We are again thinking about what we throw out. Why do we throw away so much food packaging, so many plastic supermarket bags, old newspapers and phone books, bottles and cans? What is all this rubbish doing to our environment, to the world we live in? Can't we use some of it again?
Answer: yes, we can. New industries -recycling industries- are starting to re-use some of our rubbish. For example, the island of Taiwan now buys tonnes of waste paper from the USA and recycles it to make newspapers, and for use in offices and homes. Japan takes scrap metal from the USA and makes some parts of new cars with it . Most European and American cities now have 'recycling centres' for people's old bottles and newspapers.
All this recycling is not only good for the environment but it is good business, too. A recycled aluminium can is 20 per cent cheaper to make than a new can, for instance. For both the environment and the economy, recycling makes very good sense.

You Can Change the World!
Do you know that you can change the world? If you want to make changes, you have to make a commitment. Making a commitment means sticking to something until it is done. It also means that you have made a decision. If you make good decisions, the changes you make will be good changes.If you want to change something that is too big for you to change by yourself, you have to work with other people.What happens if you and your friends and a lot of other people believe the same thing? What happens when everyone who believes the same thing works together? They become what is called a critical mass. They can put lots of energy into making a change. When they make a commitment to work together, they can make big changes. Sometimes the changes are so big that the whole world changes.
