As students how can we reduce our ecological footprint on our local enviroment? For my talent 21 project I will do mine on recycling because it is very important for our enviroment and it can help in many ways, Like by how you can re-use the cans and metals. Recycling is very important because it can reduce trash count and recycling is free unlike trash you have to pay for.

__**Experiment**__

I recycle at least 20 bottles a week and my goal is to get at least 30 bottles a week I want to try to get all my friends to recycle too. I was able to get almost all my friends to recycle 30 bottles, but 1 friend of mine didnt recyle 30 bottles he recycled 25 bottles. It is still good because we are making a difference in our environment. All together i recycled 64 bottles in 4 weeks.I have reached a good goal and i shouldd start to improve what i've done.

__ ﻿**Fast Facts** __
 * 33% of oil is used in a plastic bottle so we should use more of aluminum cans and bottles. It also keeps water cold for along time.
 * Acua is one of the biggest recycling companies around the south Jersey area.
 * There is a record for most recycled bottles in one day and they recycled over 800 bottles, so thats what we all should be able to do.
 * Recycling has been around for thousands of years. People would melt down the melt down the metal and store it.

**__Hypothisis__** I think if we start recycling alot more that we can make our country a better place. It can be cleaner in ares where it was trashy and recycling can help clean up all the cans that will be there for over 50 years in the ground.
