Dedicated to the kids at West Side Elementary School. Always remember that...

The World's population used to be very small, but then it got bigger and bigger. Sadly, having more people can sometimes lead to having more problems.

Before

After

More people means more trash. Yuck!

What can be done about this waste you might ask?

It's as simple as shouting these 3 simple words: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.

Let's try it. Ready? 1...2...3...go!

SHOUT!

Recycle Reduce Reuse!

Yay! But wait, what is that?

By reducing waste, reusing items and putting things in the recycling bin, you can save the world just like our super hero friend Rachel the Recycler.

Hi, My name is Rachel and I help save the world every day. You want to know how I do it?

Yes. Please tell us!

I used to be a super hero that only fought villains and one day after a long day of fighting, I threw

my soda can on the grass.

Oh no!

I met a boy named Ronnie, and he changed my whole mindset about the earth. He told me that throwing trash on the ground is just plain wrong!

Hey you! Pick that up and put it in the recycling bin! Don't you know that you have the power to save the world by going green?

The biggest threat to our planet is the idea that somebody else will save it. Why wait for somebody else to do that when you can start being a hero right now?

But I'm already a superhero. Can't you see that I am flying around fighting villains?

But if you don't recycle, reduce, and reuse, there won't be any more people on earth to save. Just ask my good friend Reece.
