The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle!



This week, we discovered what happens to a water bottle after we throw it in a recycling bin. When we first met, Miss Kristin and I found out that everyone at Champions had a good idea of what things can be recycled, but weren't sure what happened to them afterwards.So this week, we learned that a plastic water bottle once recycled is chopped up into little bits and melted into new things such as, soccer balls, toys, chairs, purses, and clothes. We also we learned that over 10 million water bottles are made every day, and only 1 out of 4 get recycled! That's why it's so important that we all learn to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
