TOPIC：Garbage sorting

TASK 2

Do you think garbage sorting is necessary? Why or why not?

Garbage sorting is absolutely necessary. Garbage sorting is a good method to really help the environment in a meaningful way. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping to make a difference by preserving precious resources and reducing the amount of pollution that makes its way back into the environment.

How have the regulations of garbage sorting impacted your community?

The garbage sorting regulations have helped to make a positive impact on my community. Now, everyone has taken action to properly categorize all of the waste that previously had a negative effect on the environment and caused pollution. In fact, garbage sorting has become routine in my family. We sometimes even quiz each other on which garbage bin an item would be put in once it needs to be disposed of.

What are the things you do to help protect the environment?

There are three main things I do to help protect the environment: reduce, reuse, and recycle. I reduce the number of items I buy – especially items that have pesky plastic packaging that can be harmful to the environment. I reuse the things I already have in new and interesting ways to fully make use of the item and extend its life. If I need to dispose of something, I see if it can be recycled first and then dispose of it accordingly. Doing these things can help to make contributions to reducing carbon emissions and lowering my carbon footprint.

TASK 3

The teacher called on students to help with garbage sorting. The students had all been tasked with raising awareness about how the new garbage sorting regulations could help the environment. The first group of students set up a table in the local community center to hand out informational fliers. The second group of students stopped people from littering in the park. The third group of students made a fun and interactive game to teach people the different categories of waste. The final group of students showed the local residents the new garbage sorting bins and explained how to properly dispose of different kinds of waste. The teacher was very impressed that all of her students were able to inform people in such fun and interesting ways.
