Hi, I'm new here. For all of you, I'm Michelle. Today's blog entry is gonna be on recycling, a thing my classroom in school does.not.have.

You see, in the beginning of the school year, someone asked, "Where's the recycling bin?" and my teacher casually replied, "We do not have one". At first, I didn't mind. But lately, I've been looking in our garbage bins, and there's the usual trash...and paper! Lots and lots of paper!

I would ask to get one, but I think she'd say no. » read more

Submitted by rjewell on Mon, 12/17/2007 - 12:10pm.
