We learned about the importance of recycling from an animation shown to 5th and 6th year students. The animation taught us that there are several categories of waste that can be recycled, including plastic, metal, cardboard and glass. It also showed us the recycling process, from waste being picked up and transported to a factory to be cleaned and processed into new objects. The overall message was that recycling helps protect the planet by turning waste into new materials like bottles, clothing, toys and more.
