Should our school recycle more? Every day at school we throw away bottles, wrappers and cardboard boxes and we can choose the recycling bin or the general waste bin. Putting items in the recycling bin can save resources and help our playground stay tidy but some people worry that bins will get dirty or that some things cannot be recycled. What do you think?

Sentence starters

  1. I believe our school should recycle more because keeping our playground tidy matters to me.
  2. Do you want our school oval to be cleaner and safer for birds and other animals?
