POLOKWANE – Reduce, reuse, recycle is a term many people understand, including the younger generation.
Bet-Shalom Christian School recently hosted a recycling project in which Gr R learners cleaned up the school premises.
Review asked several learners why recycling is important:
Nkhanyise Nepfumbada: I know that littering is wrong, especially in a public place. Our teachers and parents always tell us to clean after ourselves whenever we litter. I understand that recycling means old things are recycled into new material.Iyana Gqodo: Recycling means that old products are turned into new products so that people can re-use them, then it’s the same cycle all over again. I think recycling saves people a lot of money as well.Thabang Mashele: Recycling means that we must clean everything we see that causes waste around us and that waste is going to be taken to a big factory where they will turn it into brand new products.Bohlale Chabalala: When we clean up the premises, it means that all the waste thrown in the rubbish bins will be recycled and re-used by different people.Ntikelo Mathevula: I’ve learnt and understand that recycling means reduce, re-use and recycle.For more breaking news follow us on FacebookTwitter Instagram or join our WhatsApp group
