The World Day for Recycling

On May 17th is World Day for Recycling.

The Recycling in schools blog shows the work done by children and their teacher in a rural school of Asturias.
I recommend it especially, because there you will find small recyclers who have made wonders that will leave you open-mouthed.
There you will find all kind of ideas to recycle cardboard debris, broken toys, plastic parts, caps, foil, metal parts, and many other things. The results are very lovely, you'll see it by yourself :

It is good to remember The waste hierarchy refers to the three Rs of reduce, reuse, recycle.

Reduce : the most important thing is to consume less, so as to generate less waste. And to choose what we buy recyclable or biodegradable materials.

Reuse : Give an object a second useful life. All the materials can have more than one useful life by repairing for the same use or giving it a different use with imagination.
Examples: To make bags with old jeans.

Recycling : To alter a product already used by a physical, chemical,  mechanic  treatment to obtain  a new product. The glass, the paper and the majority of plastic can be recycled.
