Recycling - What YOU can do...



Thank you for choosing to view our blog on recycling in Devon and we hope that you come away supporting this growing issue!
Our aim is to try and get everybody in our community to help to combat climate change by recycling. After all every little helps!
You should recycle because...

• We want our world to be kept and preserved for future generations to enjoy!
• By recycling you are helping others instead of polluting our planet - for example when you give clothes to a charity shop instead of throwing them in the bin others can benefit from your ‘junk’!
• Recycling saves the time and energy of those who are responsible for sorting through house hold waste in the landfill sites
• If everyone helped by doing small individual recycling gestures, it would actually build up to a big effort made by the local community!

After now reading our blog, please can you post a brief response to these two questions:

1. Have we in any way changed your opinion about recycling &/or made you more aware of the possible benefits of recycling?
2. Would you now consider recycling more yourself? Please explain.

Thank you again for taking an interest in a local issue close to our hearts and we hope you will go away with the intention to recycle more!

Chelsea and Sarah

    1. I'm afraid you haven't changed my opinion because I knew it was important to recycle beforehand, however i did find your blog very thought provoking as it reinforced my opinion.
    2.I would not consider recycling more as in my house we already recycle waste food for composting, plastic, cardboard, paper etc.

    Also, you could have mentioned possible things to recycle...

    Great Blog Sarah and Chelsea! =)

    1. You have not changed my opinion as before I read this I supported this issue anyway, but I do agree with you on this matter.
    2. We already recylce quite alot of things in my house but i think that everybody should be taking part in saving our resorces.

    You have not changed my opinion but this is because i already support recycling.
    Yes, i would but i cannot really because i already do as much recycling as i can to help the environment.

    1. i have always thought that recycling is a good thing and that we need to do it more, but i found that your blog didn't really make me feel nore inclined to recycle. i think that it is a very good blog but i feel that you needed to go into a bit more depth on the current situation and what people need to do.
    2. i would have found it quite good if you had said what is acatually possible to recycle. i will deffinately keep recycling but i would have liked a bit more information. :)

    1.You have changed the way I think about recycling and I am now more aware of how I recycle and deposit my waste materials.


    2.I will now recycle more as I now know the impacts of recycling and not recyling. I hope to recycle much more than I normally do now.
