Why recycling a cell phone thinks to be good option now a days?

Most of the people now a days refer cell phone recycling,is it good option rather than to sell it.

How can I start recycling in the workplace?

We go through so much waste where I work. We have trash bins full of paper and numerous bottles from the soda machine. I hate watching it all go to the dumpster. I want to recycle, but I have no idea where to start. Where can I find recycling bins? Would the city pick it up? And most importantly, how can I get my mechanic co-workers to help?

How to begin a recycling collection business?

I would like to start a recycling collection business focusing on apartment complexes. I don’t plan to sell the recyclables or store them, just to transport them to recycling drop off centers for a small fee to the tenants. Are there any particular licenses or certificates that are needed for this type of endeavor? I would be using more of a trailer rather than a dump truck so I don’t believe I need a commercial driver’s license. Any assistance, or where to go to find ideas would be appreciated. Michigan laws. And any tips on fees to charge?

How do you start recycling plastic and paper?

My daughter gets a lot of medical supplies and one day I looked in our trashcan and realized that most of what we throw away can be recycled. I was raised on recycling, and now I’d like to carry that tradition over to my own little family. Does it cost money and how do I go about starting this?

When Recycling Paper, is it necessary to remove the plastic attached to envelopes?

Many of the envelops from junk mail or bills have a plastic piece covering the open slot that shows the recipients address. I always remove these from the envelopes before I put them into paper recycling, is this necessary for me to do?

How do I go about recycling or donating a house plant?

I have a house plant that I inherited when I moved in, but was already dying. I am not taking care of it very well and would like to donate or recycle it. Who will accept old plants? How do I go about recycling it?

How can recycling plastic generate a carbon credit? How much is that credit worth?

I have heard about carbon credits but do not know how to measure, produce, verify nor sell them. I have begun recycling several forms of plastic into a ready to use product that I have multiple customers for. I wonder if my process will produce a carbon credit that I could also sell?

How do I start a Recycling Program locally?

I would like to start a recycling program for just about everything that can be recycled. How does one go about this?

Keep in mind I have no city connections and limited funds for start up.

Are paper recycling plants and companies dealing with selling and buying of paper the same?

Also,w/o the help of the internet,how can I find out about the recycling plants?

I am looking for large recycling bins that are already labeled plastic, paper, etc. Where can I find them?

The recycling bins would be for school cafeterias. I have seen them in several businesses. They are usually color-coded as well..usually yellow, green, and blue. If anyone knows a company that supplies these, I would appreciate you letting me know!

Edit: I live in Washington State and by “large” I meant about the size of garbage cans you would keep in your garage.

Is this a good Thesis for my Persuasive Essay on Recycling in my school?

one thousand kids everyday walking through school, not once touching the recycling bins, is a heart break to me, also a student.

Go Green?!?

A few friends and I have recently started a go green club at school. The response to this club was tremendous. Were trying to think of ideas on making our school and surrounding area eco-friendly. Our first few simple ideas were getting recycling bins for our school, decorating our courtyard with flowers, and replacing our regular sink faucets with motion censored ones. Were also planning on holding a volleyball tournament to raise money for a unicef/helping the enviroment type organization. Any ideas for organizations that we can become involved with or any ideas for our community or school would be greatly appreciated. thanks =)

Some ideas to help the environment?

I’m the leader of my high school’s environmental group and we just finished getting recycling bins for our entire school. Now we need another project to undertake. It’s winter time here in Michigan so we cannot do much outside for the time being. Any suggestions?

With a Toefl iBT score of 96, is it acceptable when applying to schools that require a 100 ?

For example, Carnegie Mellon require a 100 on a Toefl iBt test. I only came to the US as an international student roughly 3 years ago (barely spoke English back then). Will they still consider my application or they just gonna throw it into the recycle bin?

Any ideas for Earth Club and going green?

We re-started an Earth Club at my high school and I was wondering if anyone had ideas to help our wonderful Earth, and environment, as well as ways to go green, and other ways to save our environmental issues??

Is there anyone in Pinellas County Florida who knows where I can recycle glass???

This county is the worst for recycling, I have to drive all of my recycling to a recycling center and they of course don’t do glass. I am sure there must be someone near by who does it.
I live in the Seminole area but it is really unincorporated Pinellas.

Recycle Center Information Needed!?

Hello, first I want to say thank you for reading this and any help that you can provide would be tremendous.

-I’m thinking of proposing a recycling fundraiser to the local board of education for my local Elementary School or even High School if I can find the following:

-A Recycling Center that offers refunds either by item or by weight that is nearest to NJ. I know that it might necessarily be in NJ, but that’s okay, its for a good cause. Even if its all the way in California, the hefty gas price after a year worth of build up might just be worth it! Of course, the rate which they use and how much.

-Any other information that might help in making this a good proposal to the BOE. I can do the research about saving the planet and living healthier and more responsible lives myself but I’d really need to know about where and rates first.

Thank you to all that can help in this information!

The Trauma of Obama
By Robin of Berkeley
A new, conservative friend cracks up when she hears my phone message. As a therapist, I’m required to state, “If this is a psychiatric emergency, please call 911.”

Roaring with laughter, she says, “Robin, the whole country is having a psychiatric emergency!”

And she’s right, because people running this country are off: off balance, off-world, off-putting, off their meds.

Gallows humor, a knot in your stomach when Obama speaks, poor sleep. Your body is telling you that something is wrong.

Even out here, things are starting to feel spooky. While it’s always weird central in Berkeley, now there’s a malaise in the air.

Yes, there are plenty of people so far into the communist schtick, they would gladly sacrifice their children, their granny, and their life savings for the Left.

But most liberals still want their houses, jobs, Hondas and iPods. When they voted for Obama, they weren’t giving a thumbs up for the country to go the way of Ché.

So there’s a strange, foreboding vibe in these parts; that creepy feeling you get when you know there’s bad news ahead.

Many liberals look dazed and confused because they have no language, no information, no way of understanding what in the world is going on.

Interestingly, there’s this eerie silence about Obama. You don’t hear a peep about him. Or course, liberals are still foaming at the mouth about Sarah Palin, tea baggers, birthers, and all things conservative.

But adulation for Obama: Missing in Action. A telling sign: the life size black and white cardboard doll of Obama in a storefront near my office has been taken down. Where did it go — to the local recycling center with other discarded Obamabilia?

Because I’m a psychotherapist, I’m intrigued by what goes on inside and outside. People not only suffer because of neurotic minds, but because of what people do to us when they abuse their power.

The family dramas, problems at work, or dysfunction in D.C. unnerve us. As Presidential nominee, Michael Dukakis, indelicately put it, “Fish rots from the head down.”

We have people at the highest echelons of our government who may be rotting this nation. They espouse twisted notions of humanity, like de-evolution and forced sterilization. They eat, drink, and sleep revenge.

They are throwing much of this country, at least those of us who are paying attention, into a psychiatric emergency — into trauma.

They dominate. They control. They terrorize.

They are abusers.

Which is no surprise if you understand where Obama comes from. He was not schooled in the Martin Luther King, Jr. tradition of unity and nonviolence, as most naive liberals thought.

Obama was educated in the Malcolm X way, the American political mafiosi: the Weatherman, Black Panthers, Black nationalists.

What were these groups’ lesson plans? “Blue eyed devils,” “Jewish dogs,” “By any means necessary.”

While the media and schools have whitewashed history, these groups were filled to the rafters with gangsters. Today’s young radicals use sociopaths like Huey P. Newton as their role models, not the beneficent King.

So when Sarah Palin’s life is threatened for speaking the truth, this is the work of thugs.

When Michael Savage is banned in Britain for passionately defending our country, this is persecution.

When citizens receive death threats for deigning to ask a question about health care, this is terror.

Some people think that Obama is just a harmless sheep in wolf’s clothing because he doesn’t raise his voice. If his underlings cause mayhem, well, that’s not his fault.

But the best and the brightest of abusers never get their hands dirty.

Their work is done through a look, a blank stare, a grin, a devilish laugh. They can incite trouble without lifting a finger.

So if you feel uncomfortable, and tense, and scared, this is why. This is what abusers do.

They cause terror in us because of something old and something new. The old: memories get triggered of past trauma: our bad tempered parent, or abusive spouse, or bully boss.

The body remembers. Suddenly you are 6 or l3 or 30 again, and you may respond with the same helplessness and anger and panic.

But there’s also new trauma, what’s happening right underneath our noses; the never ending assaults on our freedom.

The daily force feeding of leftist ideology designed to control every aspect of our lives. The health care rationing that threatens our families. The strangling of business through Big Brother intrusions.

Joining with dictators; yawning when Iran and North Korea threaten; abandoning our allies. Indoctrinating our children and trying to turn them into the little Benedict Arnold’s.

The trauma of Obama — it’s all around us, it may be in us if we’re having symptoms of

Where can I find two specific Coca Cola Commercials?

There are two commercials, I believe both of them were winners of a video contest Coca Cola ran. The first has an old woman throwing out some junk, and a bicyclist crashes near it. A film reel gets caught in the spinning spokes, a flashlight shines through the film, and the nostalgic film is played outside the old woman’s window on the side of a van parked there.
The second shows a young man drop off a coke bottle at a recycling center, and redeem his nickel. He does this every day for several months, and eventually leaves a bottle with a note inside for the cute girl working the recycling stand. She meets him at a movie theater, where he pays for the tickets to the movie with the nickels he has saved up.

I’ve searched the web, including youtube, extensively and cannot find either of these. Any advice on where to find them?
I’m not new to the internet. I know how to search. See above, how I originally said “I’ve searched the web, including youtube, extensively.” Extensively meaning that I tried every combination of keywords I can think of on YouTube and Google. I’m not interested in being told “search for them.” Like I said, I have… I’m looking for people who actually have information on where I CAN find them.

Can anyone prove to me that it is safe to live near EfW Incinerators and/or to eat food produced there?

EfW is Energy from Waste, the modern day equivalent of the incinerators of the past which were scrapped and demolished for good reason, that is that they caused more pollution than they prevented. It is claimed, by the people who make lots of money from running the current incinerators, that these are now safe, clean and environmentally positive – despite the pollution caused by the many lorries travelling many miles to feed the enormous appetite of the machine.
The site of the proposed building is in the middle of the countryside, surrounded by little villages, farms and a forest centre complete with lakes formed from old clay quarries… The access road to the site will divide our village from the lake sharing it’s name and force out the water-sports club due to compulsory purchase. The incinerator is not wanted by the vast majority of the local population or the two councils on whose border the building site is. The local mantra is Reduce Reuse Recycle and this certainly does not appear to fit in with the idea of incineration.
We have many wonderful countryside walks with excellent access to those without cars – you can get a train from the middle of London with just one change – but they appear to prefer to send their rubbish instead 🙁 We have been advised by an expert in his field that EfW makes little power from the amount of waste burned and that despite improvements to the chimneys we not only have the pollution from the lorries (and congestion on the newly revamped roads) to worry about but also dioxins, especially those which are not measured by air-safety because they are too small – and therefore more easily ingested.. Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.
The Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) have sadly ignored the opposition of the locals to this scheme and given it the go ahead, they say they have no evidence of any health risks – yet the paper they base their decision on is full of references to EfW sites in Denmark which was, earlier this year, named as “Cancer Capital of the World”..
All our evidence is therefore against EfW – especially as this process only reduces landfill by 2/3 and the remaining waste to landfill is highly toxic ash… Hopefully many more lorries will appear to take this back to the councils whose rubbish has been processed at high cost rather than forming a toxic mountain in our clean and green valley.
So what I need PLEASE is one of the following:
1) Evidence that there is anything good about Energy from Waste, that the locals will not have a higher risk of cancer and that the food produced in the vicinity would be safe to eat (ie would you be happy to live here or eat locally produced food once the Incinerator is up and running and/or jog around our local lakes and forest from which the building and delivery lorries will be highly visible)..
OR
2) Evidence to send to the IPC to put a stop to the development

I promise to be neutral when it comes to best answer and if I am unable to decide fairly will leave it up to the public vote as to who deserves the 10 points
Hi Paul, thank you very much for your message… I will pass your advice onto my group. Yes, there is an anti-incineration action group as well – UKWIN..
Amazingly we are also getting two large wind turbines, one in the Forest Centre at the side of the lake (probably on the only side of the lake which will not be bordered by roads full of lorries on their way to an from the incinerator) and the second on the site of a closed down landfill site.. We are fortunate in that they will not be near the houses so we will not be able to hear them.
You, in Wales, are fortunate in that Covanta, the company building the incinerator, were also in talks to build in Merthyr Tydfil but when the IPC passed the application in Bedfordshire Covanta pulled out of the Merthyr Tydfil plans.
Thanks again for your advise… I wish you luck with your wind-farm problem.

Can I put wine from a wine kit into beer bottles and cap them for storage?

I drink a good bit of wine. Unfortunately, I recently took many bottles to the recycle center at the wally mart. Last time I went to the recycle center, I asked if they had any wine bottles that they could give me. They told me they weren’t allowed to give them out! I’m not giving them out anymore to wally mart either. If people really cared about the environment they would enourage re-using over recycling. I hate to buy bottles and have them shipped 100 miles from Austin, the nearest brewing supply store when my neighborhood alone probably puts that many in the trash can. I do have a lot of beer bottles. I also have a capper and bottle caps. I’d like to know if bottling wine in beer bottles is advisable, or any other ideas for obtaining cheap or free wine bottles. I have already asked my relatives to save them. I do have plenty of beer bottles. Thanks.

Why don’t they make garbage bags out of the same material as the compost bags?

In Ontario, Canada here we use the green bins as well as regular trash and recycling bins. What i’m wondering is why don’t they just make the same bags for the garbage cans that the compost one is using? I have had my compost bags decompose under my sink before but, couldn’t they just extend the period of decomposition of the bags +1 month or two? How do you feel about it?

The people are informed not to use polythene bags. Why nobody has found solution for recycling of such bags.?

The polythene bags are already in use. Instead of advising not to use such bags, the government should try for recycling method. to solve the problem. Nothing should be wasted in this world. Anybody is accepting or rejecting my idea? Even garbage is used for electricity. Then why not polythene bags?

Do plastic bags get recycled out of the garbage at the waste plant?

Garbage bags?

If plastic ShopRite bags are not biodegradeable and you should recycle paper ShopRite bags, how should you throw out you garbage in order to stay environmentally aware?

Can I place bags of shredded paper in the recycle bin?

Our city just instituted a recycling system for waste pickup. I know they take paper, but I don’t want to just place these documents in the bin. Do they generally accept it if it is shredded and placed in a plastic garbage bag?

If we are supposed to recycle plastic bags, what are we supposed to use to put our garbage in?

How successful are you in avoiding plastic bags?

I find it mighty difficult to avoid plastic bags, especially during shopping. I even throw my trash in plastic covers and keep it out for the garbage truck to collect. In my town, there are no recycling bags available. How have you been fighting the plastic menace?

Thanks a lot,
Manoj

How do recycling centers make money?

Every time I go to a recycling center, they pay me a CRV price for my recyclables. From what I understand, CRV price is higher than any other state in the US. However, I don’t understand how they are supposed to make money if they PAY customers. They are clearly businesses, so where does their profit come from and how?
Congrats smart@ss, I’m looking for more of a PROCESS kind of thing of HOW they function as a business. It’s pretty clear that they sell these recyclables.

I want to get my office to start recycling, how do I go about htis?

We use a lot of paper that usually gets thrown away and we also use a ton of soda cans. I cringe everytime I throw one away in the regular garbage and I wanted to make a suggestion at the next meeting about starting to recycle. I don’t know how I can go about this. Do I have to call a recycling center and get the proper containers and who do I call to pick them up or do we have to drop them off? I am in NYC (Chelsea area) are there any centers in the city? Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful, thanx!

Why don’t Celebrities set the example on environmental issues?

I wash my garbage to recycle containers like gooey peanut butter jars and greasy chili cans. I drive a compact car that is way to small for my bones. I combine errands into one trip per day so I can conserve fuel. My thermostat is at 67 in winter and 79 in summer. I added insulation to my attic, caulked inside and outside of windows and doors, installed compact flourescent light bulbs, use energy saving windowshades instead of pretty window treatments, and a host of other things. I’m not whining–I WANT to do my part.
Then I see our leaders and other celebrities in the news saying somebody ought to do something about pollution. Somebody else! They say there ought to be more laws to force me to do more. When the interview is over, they hop on a private jet to their next stop. Then they ride in one of their gas-hog vehicles to one of their THREE huge houses (all must be heated and cooled). Shouldn’t THEY be setting the EXAMPLE in their personal choices? Why don’t you suggest it to them

Is there such a thing as cleaning products with recyclable containers?

I know Seventh Generation’s containers are biodegradable, but it would be even better to have products with recyclable containers. I think the only plastics I can recycle are numbers 1&2. I cannot even recycle the boxes of laundry detergent because they are wax-covered.

I know that every piece of plastic that was ever created still exists today, and I hate throwing plastic in the garbage.

If not, what is the most environmentally friendly cleaning products I can get.

Thanks
🙂

Recycling – Do you clean the items out first?

When you put your plastic milk jugs, plastic peanut butter jars, plastic ketchup containers, etc. into the recycle bin (to be picked up by the garbage people), do you rinse them out first? Are you supposed to just sort of rinse them out, or are you supposed to put them in the recycle bin completely clean?
btw, I do rinse out the milk jugs and other things, and sometimes I’ll even put the empty peanut butter jars in the dishwasher first. I just didn’t know if the recycling place just threw everything in something and that cleaned it out easily.

How does this intro sound for a research paper on recycling?

Did you ever hear anybody say this, “The world is going in the dumps!” or maybe this might be more familiar, “Clean up your room!” Now you’re probably wondering what do these two statements have in common. Right? Well when you clean your room, where do you put your garbage? Do you put it in a specific recycling container, or do you stuff it in the garbage can? The garbage that just gong to be thrown in a landfill to sit there and stink for many years?

I only have a few more sentences to write for the intro.

How do you get rid of “fruit flies”?

I returned from vacation 4 weeks ago, to a barrage of fruit flies. I have cleaned out every cupboard, the floors, counters, walls, etc. There was never any evidence of food anywhere, including garbage and recycling bins, which I emptied and washed out before I left to go away.
I have tried containers of cider vinegar, which capture them, but the following day a whole new batch has arrived. Any help would be appreciated.

Am I fooling myself by using the recycling bin?

Does separating “trash” and “recyclables” really help in a world where we use tremendous amounts of non-biodegradable stuff, single-serving plastic containers of designer water, etc.? or is recycling just a scam to make people feel better about the waste they create? Does anyone really believe that the giant truck that comes by once a week to pick up our barrel full of bottles, plastics, metals and so on will really cart this stuff off to a place where gentle hands will carefully analyze, separate, and re-use these items? I have my suspicions, since I see both the garbage and the recycling trucks turning into the same landfill entrance as I drive by in my SUV on my way to Starbucks each morning.

Recycling question, what can and can’t go in?

We recycle through the city, so there’s no separating involved or anything, they give us a bin and pick it all up. From the other questions I read it doesn’t look like it’s done this way everywhere, so I thought I’d put that in…but anyways
Can you only recycle things that have the symbol on it? There’s lots that I would assume can be recycled, like coffee cream containers, and the tins from frozen juice, my Timmies cups. I do rinse everything out, so yeah, does that symbol have to be on there? I would have a great deal less garbage if there was more that I could be recycling.

Does a glass container from the larger size Yankee Candle go in my recycle bin or garbage?

I know the things that go in the recycle bin are supposed to be clean of residue but the wax that’s left in the bottom is not gonna come out without a serious fight. So how am I “supposed to” dispose of it? The recycle bin or my regular garbage can?

NOTE: My town recycles by putting all recyclable items in one rectangular plastic bin that is provided by the town. I know all towns/states are different but in general what do you think the policy is? THANKS!
Ummm… I wasn’t really trying to find out how to get the wax out guys. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone know if I can put the jar in my RECYCLE BIN – with or without the wax???

Thanks!

What does it mean when a recycling bin is “lid fit”?

So I want to buy recycling bins for my school to try and be more green and what not, so I went and found one on amazon.com for a really good price but it says its “lid fit” does that mean something weird, like does it come with a lid or do I need to buy a lid?
http://www.amazon.com/Continental-White-Lid-32gal-Recycling/dp/B00194RO8C/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_b thats the link if it helps.

How should I start this business letter?

It’s for english.I’m supposed to write a letter to the principal about a policy. I’m not sure how to start after the dear part.
I’m talking about how the school should recycle having bins for recycling and another regular trash.

Eco friendly school???

OK last year, I managed to get my school recycling bins for the cafeteria. But this year, I want to do so much more!!! Like adding bike racks, paper recycling, encouraging turning off lights. Plus my school consists of a building 100+ years old, and some trailors about 3 years old. In two years we are getting a new school building. I’m going in 7th grade. I need ways to persuade the teachers, and to get an adult to “supervise” the meetings (which will be after school and on club day, which is once a month on friday). I’m a high honor roll student, the teachers love me, and I’m in every club possible, so getting help should not be too hard. I also need to figure out how to get other students to help, or be involved. Lastly, some project ideas for the green club, and ways to help make the new building “Green” would really be appreciated. Thanks so much for all your help! And I’m glad that there are more eco-activists too!

how to encourage kids at my middle school to recycle?

I wrote a letter to my school on recycling… They considered it rude and “attacking”?

Dear Mr. So-and-so

As a member of the HOPE club at X High School, I find it a priority that you have a conference with Mrs. Principle immediately. I have been told that Mrs.Teacher has suggested recycling probably since October, and this is now February, and nothing has been done.
As time passes on, future issues will arise for my generation and the next. It is the schools‘ responsibility to teach their kids and teens to conserve and protect our only home. It is pitiful knowing all of our future issues and not responding to them as quickly as possible. Take for instance, California . California has recycling bins in every school, kindergarten through college, and every house has an enormous blue bin for recycling. Now they are doing something. X High School may just be one school in X State, but it is one where it can teach kids to take responsibility for their actions.
But how is it that we know this, and no one has time to fix it?
Mr. So-and-so, even though I do not know you, and you do not know me, be that person to change. Be that person to bring in those bins and reduce our daily trash. This may not be an issue you think about every morning when you wake up, but it is to me. Our teens need to be informed, and the more you can help, the better.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Me

So I was wondering, how “attacking” was this letter? I wrote this about a year ago, and as far as I know, the school still doesn’t have any recycling bins. Back then, the club said that their only goal for the entire year was getting bins at our school. The guy they were contacting, Mr. So-and-so hardly ever replied to them, and I was running out of patience…
They kicked me out of the club, and eventually I gave up on them. (I never paid any of the fees and I never liked the people there anyways…)

Confused. Does he like me or hate me? Male answers preferred.?

SORRY. ITS QUITE LONG BUT PLEASE READ IT AND ANSWER!

It all started in the lunchroom. I was in hyper mode and being crazy and the guy was behind me in the line. I done something creepy with my eyes, you know when you make only the white parts show. He said i was a devil worshipper. I think he was joking but im not sure.

For the next few days he walked away from me whenever he caught my eye in the playground and looked at me in a ‘get away from me you weirdo’ kind of way. i think he was joking around but im not sure.

We exchanged e-mails. I asked him if he was really stupid enough to think i was a devil worshipper or if he was just joking. He didn’t answer the question and talked about something else. He seemed perfectly nice in these e-mail conversations but went back to ‘distant mode’ at school.

I have a facebook account and he commented on a friend’s picture that i was in and said ‘this would be a nice pic if she [as in me] wasn’t in it’.
everyone else said this was a nice pic of both of us.

A few days later we had a fight at school because of an argument throught msn. we exchanged cusses and he complimented me whenever i said a particularly good (or bad, considering how you look at it) cuss. i have no idea why he done that.

during the fight, he was smiling. Neither of us took the fight seriously. I bruised him by accident and the teacher that caught us fighting saw but he said it wasn’t me. We had to empty the recycling bins at school after school as punishment. At the end, we had one bag each (and so did the one other guy that was with us for another reason). The guy said, last one to the bins and back is the loser. We all started running. On the way back, we were neck and neck and we playfully barged each other as we ran. He came first, me second, and the other guy last. He said ‘ha! you got beaten by a girl!’

The next day, he gave me a big smile as he went past me.
I’ve learnt that he like me in year 8. (i am now in year 9). i don’t know when he stopped liking me.

I am very confused. Can someone please explain his behaviour to me?

i am running for 7th grade representative and i wrote my speech but i don’t know if people will vote for me?

here is my speech.
Hello, my name is ___. I am running for 7th grade representative. I am hoping everyone will consider me as your representative for the school. i value helping the community, i work hard, and i try to have fun with everything while working hard. if i become a representative i promise to try to make this school a better place and a more comforting place to be. there are a couple of things i want to change about the school to make it better. first, i want to make the environment cleaner and friendly. such as, not using so much plastic, having more recycling bins around school, and encouraging students to help the environment. i also want to help the school raise money so we can have more fun programs and activities. if we have more fund raising our school can afford more things. if we had a successful fund raiser and raised enough money we can have more fun field trips. do you want more vacation and less homework. well, i can’t promise you that, but i can promise you that i will be very committed, fun, and i will include everyone. i have good grades, and i am very athletic. please consider me as your next 7th grade representative. thank you all, i hope i will get to help you and our school next year. thank you.
if you can, please help me to make it more funny
