We are now facing a global phenomenon on environmental disturbances due to abuse that man has created. In our own simple ways, we can help save the future by recycling the stuffs instead of throwing them to the dump sites. Here is a list of a the common trash and how long it will take for them to decompose.
Paper :2 to 5 months
Orange peels : 6 months
Milk cartons : 5 years
Filter-tip cigarettes :10 to 12 years
Plastic bags : 10 to 20 years
Leather shoes : 24 to 40 years
Plastic containers : 50 to 80 years
Disposable diapers : 75 years
Tin cans : 100 years
Aluminum cans : 200 to 500 years

Let us all be conscious enough to watch out for our present practices that may contribute to our mother earth. Think of the children that we have. It’s still a long way to go for them. Let us help them see a brighter future by RECYCLING.

I recycle because I like to conserve our resources so our children will have enough to use. I like to have clean air, water, clean food to survive. so in order to have those is to protect the mother earth, take care of everything around me because I believe I connected to everything around me. What I do would affect to something, somebody, so I choose to be mindful of others.
