“Recently, I’ve been recycling all cans and bottles in my house and taking them

to the bottle drive instead of throwing it away. And I try to walk as much as possible

instead of driving. I like to ride bike as well to places which is not only a great way to

reduce the impact pollution in the air but it’s also a great workout as well”- Kaitlyn

MacNeill.

“We try not to print too much of work and use everything online, so we don’t use

lot of paper products. Also, we like to recycle things like cans and bottles, and we don’t

like to litter. We also try to avoid using plastic straws and forks. We don’t use public

transportations much, but we carpool to work every day and we run.” - Michelle Nabuurs

and Cathy Nabuurs.

“I take public transportation as much as I can. I guess people don’t educate

themselves best enough on what we could do to make it less worsen. I also sort my

trash as best as I can with the three bins. I like the idea of planting some trees. So, I like

to do my own gardening in my backyard. I mostly use recyclable bags for groceries and

other stuffs instead of plastic bags.”- Jenna Doucettrns.

“I don’t do much, but I always like to keep the cardboard boxes or other products

that have shapes instead of throwing them in the trash. I try to recycle those things to

containers for my stuff by cutting it apart and put it together to make it as a cupboard.

So, I don’t have to buy a new container. I always use public transportation and if I can’t

use that I ride my bike. So, I don’t drive that much. For bottles, I reuse them by cleaning

it and do some bottle arts to grow plants inside.”- Isabella Phan.

“I am always cautious whenever I put garbage waste and try to put it in the right

bin by sorting out the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. I try to use my bottle and dishes

which are not plastic. And I have seen my friends throwing away their clothes instead of

donating it which is extremely bad for climate change. But I always donate those clothes

to Value Village or other thrift stores and encourage them to do the same.”- Que Anh

Mai.
