STUDENT COMMITMENT CONTRACT

I, _________________________________________, commit myself to helping in taking care of my environment. Instead of driving in a car or bus, I choose to walk, ride my bike or carpool with someone else to reduce the smog in the air. In order to prevent more pollution coming from garbage I will reduce my garbage by recycling what I can, create a compost bin for biodegradable items, and I will reuse those items that others can use or make things usable in some other way. I promise to conserve water by not letting the water run while I am bathing or washing my teeth. I promise not to litter the beaches, lakes, or rivers. I will pick up litter that I see, even if I did not throw it. I will take time to write letters to congressmen and other people that have the power to do more than me.

Signed this _____ day of __________, 200__________.

Sample pages for the Three R's presentation.

RECYCLE

Recycle means that you don't throw away bottles, plastics, cans or newspapers.
You collect them and give them to a recycling center.
They take them to shops where they use these items to make new products.

Here are some ways you can recycle:

Buy stuff that can be recycled. The label tells you.
Get bins from your neighborhood recycling center. Recycle cans, glass, plastic and newspapers.
Use some of those materials to make crafts as gifts.

Here is one thing that cannot be recycled: ALUMINUM

Aluminum can be reused. If you collect the cans, some companies will buy them from you.

REDUCE means to try not to use things that produce garbage or pollution.

Things you can do to reduce:

Buy products that don't have a lot of packaging.
Borrow something you will use only once.
Carpool, walk, ride bike instead of using the car.
Create a compost bin to get rid of the biodegradable instead of throwing in garbage.
Use the internet to view the newspaper instead of buying it everyday.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

REUSE means to use something again and again.

Take old clothes, shoes and furniture to a donation center instead of throwing in the garbage.
Find a way to use old tires. Maybe a swing.
Use old newspaper to make your own paper.
Reuse the plastic bags. Some supermarkets have bins to place them in the store.
Create a compost bin to get rid of the biodegradable. It becomes fertilizer for the plants.
