Yes, Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living in them.In school,we can reduce by pinning notices on notice boards instead of making copies to distribute,switch off light, fan and electronic appliances when not in use and use refillable soap and drinks dispensers instead of providing individual packets. Reuse by using both sides of paper for writing, calculations and problem solving etc,Reuse plastic and glass containers as pots for planting and lastly pass unwanted textbooks and assessment books to others.we can also recycle by setting up a recycling programme in school,participate in our school's recycling programme,purchase and use recycled products,make recycled paper at home and decorate it for use as a greeting card or wrapping paper and purchase greenlabelled products. Its believed that reducing, reusing and recyclying make a difference in saving the environment
