Many people think that recycling only has the three R’s. However, there are other things you can do to recycle.

1. Know what you can and cannot recycle. There are some certain items that do not count as recyclable. Before you recycle, make sure you know what is allowed to be processed and what is not.
    
2. For school projects, use recycled paper and other items such as earth friendly glues, paints and pencils. By reusing recycled items you are not only promoting recycling but also helping Earth become healthier.
    
3. Have your parents consider recycling their water. Reusing water after it has been filtered would save lots of water and really help the planet.
    
4. Help your parents consider recycling when they are buying things. For example, in the grocery store have them buy things that they know they can recycle. This helps the environment.
    
5. Let things go. If you don’t love something or don’t use it, then donate it or recycle it. For example old clothes that don’t fit, toys, and other items that you do not really need in your household anymore.
