STUDENT COMMITMENT CONTRACT
I,
_________________________________________, commit
myself to helping in taking care of my environment. Instead of driving in
a car or bus, I choose to walk, ride my bike or carpool with someone else to
reduce the smog in the air. In order to prevent more pollution coming from
garbage I will reduce my garbage by recycling what I can, create a compost
bin for biodegradable items, and I will reuse those items that others can use or
make things usable in some other way. I promise to conserve water by not
letting the water run while I am bathing or washing my teeth. I promise
not to litter the beaches, lakes, or rivers. I will pick up litter that I
see, even if I did not throw it. I will take time to write letters to
congressmen and other people that have the power to do more than me.

Sample pages for the Three R's presentation.
RECYCLE |
-
Recycle means that
you don't throw away bottles, plastics, cans or newspapers.
-
You collect them and give them to
a recycling center.
-
They take them to shops where they use these
items to make new products.
|
Here are some ways
you can recycle:
- Buy stuff that can
be recycled. The label tells you.
- Get bins from your
neighborhood recycling center. Recycle cans, glass, plastic and newspapers.
- Use some of those
materials to make crafts as gifts.
Here
is one thing that cannot be recycled: ALUMINUM
Aluminum
can be reused. If you collect the cans, some companies will buy them from
you.
