1) Save my world, why won’t you save my world?
a) Does this sound familiar to you? It is the lyrics to the song “Save my World”, which is an initiative of the Saving Gaia project by Mediacorp (savinggaia.sg). You would probably have heard the song countless of times on the television, radio and in public, but has it impacted you to do your part in saving our world?
2) As such, you would probably have already correctly inferred that I will be talking about saving our world, and specifically, through recycling.
a) First off, the topic my group and I chose for our Project Work in JC was recycling and we researched for more than 6 months on this topic. As such, I hope that would prove my credibility on this topic.
b) I will be talking about

ii) Although some funding would be required, I feel that it would be worthwhile as we would be raising awareness for a good cause. Although the Office of Environmental Sustainability already has the sustainABLE owl as their ambassador, they could create a costume and make the sustainABLE owl their mascot, and have a routine parade of it to enhance awareness. Furthermore, if the mascot is created, the costume could be reused in the future as well.

5) However, you may be wondering how this plan of encouraging NUS students to recycle may benefit you.
a) If students were to be motivated by the plan to recycle within campus, they may adopt the habit of recycling outside the campus as well. This would increase the recycling rate in Singapore, and reduce land pollution and the incineration of wastes.
i) This would not only benefit students, but also benefit everyone in Singapore as the increase in recycling rates would create a cleaner environment for all. ii) As such, this plan is beneficial in creating a cleaner and greener Singapore for all.

a) Drop your plastic bottles into the recycling bins around the campus when you are done with your drinks and recycle your lecture notes or any paper you do not need.
b) All in all, recycle any recyclable items that you are ready to discard.
c) In fact, you can start now by recycling your speech outline!
Conclusion
1) In conclusion, I have told you about the need to recycle and how this need is relevant to you. I also talked about my plan to encourage recycling among NUS students in campus, as well as its practicality and how it is of benefit to you. Lastly, I appealed for you to start recycling from now, if you have not already done so.
2) I would like to end off by saying that an apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recycled item a day, would keep doomsday away. Start recycling now!
Recycling is presently one of the most controversial topics, considering that while most individuals put across their support regarding the act the number of individuals who actually do something in order to recycle is much smaller. Many people are currently unable or unwilling to recycle properly because the process often requires a series of changes in one's life. It is thus essential for the authorities to provide educational programs meant to assist individuals in understanding why recycling is important and in learning how to recycle effectively. People need to accept the fact that the benefits of recycling will reflect on the future and that conditions are currently critical as a result of the fact that the masses are generally unacquainted with the importance of this process.
Many people go through their day not even thinking about recycling and what it can do for our environment. We, the school, could absolutely benefit from a recycling program. So many people think that recycling is a waste of time and how the energy it takes to recycle is equal to the amount it takes to simply throw your trash away. They don’t actually think about the positive effects it could have to the school. This is why putting a recycling program in Mount Juliet High School can not only help our environment as a whole, but can also help us see the reality of what recycling can do.
Preview of Main Points: First, I will explain the problem with not recycling. Next, the causes of the not recycling. Last, the solution and what we can do.
"We are trying to teach students to use less, and recycle of course." says Connor Linsey a second year student here at EVCC, who is the newest member of the club.
In order to promote the need to recycle, the first step I took was joining a group that shares the same goal as I; thus, I’m a proud member of Largo High School’s Green Club. We place recycling bins throughout the school for people to recycle their paper and plastic. With intentions of making the school a
My first suggestion about encouraging people to recycle is to create a recycling team. Recycling team will be a group of people in every province to raise awareness about recycling, advantages of recycling, and disadvantages of disposal. They will be going to schools, colleges, and industries to make people and children aware of the negative effects of disposal, and acclaim them for the things they have recycled. My second suggestion is making local recycling centers. In every five square kilometers, a recycling center should be made. The job of recycling center would be collecting the garbage and recycling them to educational materials then distributing them to public schools. My final suggestion is the government should place four different garbage cans on streets. One for papers, one for plastics, one for hard materials such as glass and computer parts, and another one for materials which cannot be recycled. Placing these four garbage cans will help with the recycling center for collecting of garbage. It would be easy for them to recycle
The reasons why we need recycling at school and the area is because with recycling it can make so many things out of bottles or cans even milk cartons too. These resources can make cars buses and houses, trash can make that . The recycling area makes a lot of things and you might think it’s gross but it’s better then putting it in the ground of the earth. You think it is no difference with no recycling but there is and it’s with pollution, all the trash put in the ground it’s still littering and littering makes pollution you probably already know.
Good Morning everyone, i'm here today to address the situations regarding recycling. There is much debate as to if it is truly beneficial to recycle, some see it as a waste of time gathering resources and money in gas to take it to recycling centers. If local governments gave you the opportunity to recycle by providing recycling bins would you take advantage? If you said no, there are plenty of reasons as to why you should say yes, starting with economic benefits. By 2025 it is estimated that the U.S will save over 850 billion dollars(BIR President Ranjit Baxi). Big businesses such as Apple are already on board with recycling, this year alone they have made 40 million in recycled devices (Environmental Responsibility Report). Other benefits include environment. Some disclaimers believe that landfill spaces will not fill up anytime soon and that they are not harmful to the environment, on the other hand why should we wait until it becomes a problem to fix our landfills? If we can stop the problem at its source there is no reason not to recycle as it positively affects everyone.
The purposes of this report are: (1) To determine the Sun Coast University campus community’s awareness of the recycling program and (2) To recommend ways to increase participation in the program. Sun Coast’s recycling program was intended to respond to the increasing problem of waste disposal, as well as to fulfill it’s social and legal responsibility as an educational institution.
Most schools and job places are filled with recycling bins to contribute to the fact. They usually offer an incentive for recycling. Like you would recieve a prize for recycling over a certain amount. These are very good ideas that could be used to make recycling
Students and faculties not recycling in schools has resulted in serious consequences. All of the trash and debri that students could recycle ends up in landfills. Over time, the trash and debri accumulates causing the landfill to fill up, smell horrendous, but more importantly become toxic. The more toxic the landfill becomes, the greater the potential for the toxicity to affect humans. The toxicity in landfills comes from decomposing materials which contain extremely harmful chemicals such as chlorides and heavy metals that seep into the ground. These chemicals can even get carried by the rain and be allocated to water that humans and animals drink. In the future, a lack or recycling in schools will regrettably cause the death rate to increase. People do not realize that enough exposure to these chemicals has the ability to cause a variety of cancers. Also, 5, 10, 25, and 50 years in the future a large amount of landfills will reach their capacity. Then where will all this hazardous waste go? The possibility of running out of natural resources, which are finite, is another serious consequence of not recycling in schools. Metals
recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.
We, humans, are producing waste every day, polluting and destroying our planet. To save the world, many people believe recycling is the obvious solution. It is the process of converting certain waste into a reusable material. Therefore, the recycle motto is “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle”. However, have you ever wondered why the word recycle is placed at the end? Well, it’s because it is not the only way to reduce waste and save the world from global warming. Recycling may have many advantages, but its disadvantages’ list is not a short one either. Recycling may look very simple and easy method, but when there is a need for a new unit of waste recycling, it takes up a lot of space. Not to mention the amount of money the building costs along with paying the staffs, buying new utility vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit and different types of chemical disposals. It is not only expensive but also, unhygienic, unsafe and unsightly with piles of waste materials on every location. These wastes spread infectious diseases putting human health at risk. Aside from recycling
I propose Broken Arrow High School put recycling bins on campus. The current recycling policy at BAHS is nonexistent. Paper, water bottles, milk cartons, and plastic are being thrown away into non-recycling bins. BAHS should provide the recycling bins so that we can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserve natural resources, save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change and also help the school budget by reusing the things that are reusable. Not only as a senior at BAHS but as a human being I believe we should take care of our planet, and being at such a big school I am confident we can truly make a difference here and that starts with recycling. As a rule recycling is good for the environment and as simple as throwing your plastic water bottle into the correct bin. Due to lack of recycling opportunities on campus Broken Arrow High School should provide recycling bins in order to save the environment and help the school budget.
Recycling is the process of converting waste into a reusable form, which also helps to reduce the use of other fresh raw materials and energy. Recycling is of a major concern today and every individual, household, business, organizations etc. should be aware of it and actually practice it. Recycling is among those topics for which people take for granted as a positive action, however there are people who have a different view and might debate about the position for either being positive or negative towards recycling. Recycling has numerous benefits, and among them environmental benefits are the major benefits longing for a more sustainable development, which also leads us to a better clean, green and sustainable environment. Thus, every individual, households, as well as business and organizations should practice recycling and also the concept of three R’s i.e. “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”, for reducing waste and conserving both natural and artificial resources ("The Three R 's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle." ). Community should also raise awareness among people regarding the benefits of recycling and the disadvantages associated with anti-recycling practices.
