It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Reuse and Repurpose
When you are in public or maybe in the comfort of your own home, it is difficult to take in to consideration what goes in the trash, recycling, or compost. First of all, I believe that everyone should have a trash and recycling in their home. Secondly, I think that food packaging industries should make it more clear where their wrapper, can etc. should go. Lastly, many adults and children are not educated on what recycling and compost so I believe that in school when kids are young they should be educated on what goes in what bin so they can grow into adults with previous knowledge of how to help keep our earth clean.
I agree. I also believe that the amount of trash can be reduced it industries use biodegradable packaging that can be recycled. Another way the amount of recycling can be increased is by making it more accessible to the general public.
Having a recycling in your home is a great step towards helping clean up the earth. I agree and think that schools should educate children about recycling and what to and not to compost.
