RECYCLING
Recycling is one of the greatest ways to have a positive effect in the world we live in. It is essential for both our natural
environment and us. It is our duty to take action as the amount of waste we create is increasing rapidly. My brother, Sam,
loves to recycle, and he encourages us all to take part especially when you can get a small income for doing so. Most of
us always need a little extra money now and then for different things. One way he makes some money is to recycle cans,
bottles, newspapers, and other containers. He usually gets about thirty dollars a month by recycling most of his rubbish. It
is not a lot of money, but he is happy to have a little extra now. Most of the time, he uses the money to take his wife to
the cinema. His wife always looks forward to doing that at the end of every month. Sam has always been careful with his
money and teaches his children the importance of money and how to protect the environment by recycling.
