A Lesson On Recycling
How would you feel if your future generations couldn’t have a normal life with rubbish lying around? I am here from the 2060s to teach you about why you should recycle. I strongly believe that you should recycle because you will create a healthier planet, reduce pollution and save money.
First and foremost, you should recycle as you will keep the planet healthy. Keeping a planet healthy means that you are protecting the planet by having nature everywhere. This is important as nature is trees and plants which is oxygen. Without oxygen, we wouldn’t even be living. Thus, you should recycle as you will keep the planet healthy.
Furthermore, you should recycle as it will reduce pollution. Pollution can be the emissions from fossil fuel powered cars or just from power plants. Either way, they are still polluting the air. To reduce the pollution, you can recycle so microscopic pieces do not get into the ocean. Therefore, you should recycle as it reduces pollution.
Last but not least, recycling saves money. The packaging for food or other things costs a lot to lot only make but to get. To get just the machinery to get the material for the packaging, you have to waste over ten thousand dollars. Creating the packaging is even more expensive. Instead of digging up the world for materials, why can’t people just reuse the packaging.Thus you should recycle as you will save money.
To conclude, you should recycle as it keeps the planet healthy, reduces pollution and it saves money. It’s now your responsibility to be environmentally friendly and preserve your own ecosystem. Now what are you waiting for? Get up and start recycling your rubbish.

Hello, all students of the 1980s!
Not only am I a voice from the future, but I am one who has seen what is presently happening, and I am here to tell you something important. This message is from the year 2060, and our world is suffering from the effects of climate change. Our planet has some huge problems, much of which we have created by not looking after it.
Can you imagine living in a place where droughts, floods, and fires are frequent, the air is polluted, and we can’t rely on our water supply? This could be our future. If we don’t act now, in 10 years it will be nearly impossible to live a healthy life.
But the good news is there is one easy thing that we can do to help—recycling. It seems like something simple, such as separating papers from plastic, but it is very significant. Recycling saves energy and other resources, besides reducing waste harmful to our planet. As an example, recycling aluminum foil saves 95% of the energy used in making new foil. That’s a lot of energy we can use to heat homes, schools, and hospitals, instead of expelling even more energy digging up new materials from Earth.
For example, think about plastic bottles. If everyone recycled them, we could significantly reduce the waste that ends up in landfills and oceans, thus protecting wildlife and making our environment cleaner for everyone. Small things may create a big change.
We are running a marathon in this race against time, struggling to save the planet. Everyone has to do their bit, so next time you throw away anything, think of recycling. Among the simplest yet most effective ways to help the Earth is recycling.
Recycling is just one part of the bigger picture of how we can save our planet. Sustainable living means considering our impact at every moment—choosing to buy less means wasting less and thinking more. Today, you have the opportunity to build a foundation for a future that is not just surviving but thriving. By making conscious decisions, reducing waste, and embracing sustainable practices, you are laying the groundwork for future generations to enjoy a cleaner, healthier planet. The choices you make today truly matter—are you ready to lead the way?

Let’s Rocket to Recycling!
Imagine a world where there is no pollution, no climate change and more! This is very much possible, and what’s more it barely takes any time! All you need to do is recycle. Recycling is reusing things like paper and plastic to create new items such as a book or a toy car. Are you in for recreating the whole entire world? Well, I am in for sure!
Recycling is very important because it can stop many problems, such as pollution. Scientists say that the earth is constantly heating up, and the things causing it is us humans. Let’s just stay positive. That is a sign that we can stop it by recycling. Because recycling uses the same materials over and over again, it does not get thrown into the landfill, meaning that there will be less pollution in our oceans and our precious air. How would you like that?
Recycling is also easy to do. It only takes like 10 minutes a day and can still cause a major impact in less than an hour. All you need to do is remember to throw certain materials like paper and metal into the recycling bin and, BOOM, mission complete! It’s that simple. How fast do you think it would be for the whole world to be recreated? Plus, you can make recycling more fun by throwing things into a basketball hoop and then the item gets recycled. Who would like a super duper quick and fun way of making the entire world a better place?
So, my friends in the 1980s, let’s not wait to save the earth. Let’s make a change by dedicating time into recycling and simply use it as a form of fun. We can make a change together. If everyone contributes, it will make a BIG difference for years to come. Let’s be sustainable and prevent bad problems.

Environment Speech
What is happening to our world? Climate change, Global warming, and Greenhouse gases. These are all humongous problems on Earth. So what can we do? We can fix it. Help us fix the world by recycling, sustainably living, and by using less fuels. From 2060, I’ve encountered many natural disaster because of climate change.
Climate change is an absolute problem to humanity. you can reduce the amount of gases and carbon dioxide you produce. This helps drastically and may even let us win our fight. By doing this, you prevent extreme wildfires, land transformations and animal habitat loss. Recycling is simple but helpful. Place a bottle you find into the nearest recycling bin. One bottle at a time.
As I am from the future, I have lived through many extraordinary achievements, but I have also lived through critical disasters. You see, this can be prevented. By being stewards of the environment, you help Earth to keep on thriving and happily living. Recycle, reuse, reduce, is a famous quote which tells you to use something again and again to reduce the waste of materials. Also potentially creating fossil footprints, which is destructive to Earth.
Think about this. What if you don’t do anything and leave Earth to die? Where will the future humans live? Is this a paradox? Well you see, by losing planet Earth, we lose our home, the place we lived on. Everything we treasured and adored destructed by us. So protect now so you can thrive later.
So do what is right, or else we’ll face fright!

Imagine where the world is green and safe and inhabitable, where the sun shines brightly amongst us, and not the rapidly increasing landfill. That’s why we should recycle. It will help reduce pollution, it will help reduce diseases, which increases lifespan, and it would possibly help people getting more jobs.
In my time, from the 2060s, I’ve seen many devastating results if we don’t act on recycling fast enough. Once, a country was sustainable at first, but when introduced to a harmful substance called plastic, they thought it was just like the compost and threw it in compost piles! The plastic clearly could be recyclable instead. Because of treating recyclable products like compost, this becomes something known as pollution. This causes emissions, which is burned from many things, including fossil fuels, which we use for transport, something we do in our daily lives. We must act on all this waste!
Do you want to live for a very long time, so that you can see the impact on recycling? Then first, recycle. Pollution, which is caused by many different daily activities, causes diseases and infections. As such, asthma could be caused by air pollution, lung disease could be caused by
and malaria could be contracted by mosquitoes. Since mosquitoes love the warm, which global warming creates. As you think: how would global warming matter to recycling? Well, pollution causes global warming, because burning fossil fuel gives heat in the air. Without these disease-causers, we would live for much longer, and to be able to explore more. Therefore, we should reduce, reuse and recycle!
With the Industrial Revolution sparking up and taking people’s jobs, many of us are poor, or jobless. However, if we implement an environmentally friendly recycling job or team, we could earn money by doing deeds that will hug our planet. Who wouldn’t want to both help the economy and save our planet?! Since it would benefit us in a multifunctional way, we shall recycle more.
We’ve implemented some courses and activities that you can do now, such as a box where we can recycle old garments and other items, an extra free item every single time we buy a reusable bag or recyclable item at particular shops, and much more. Just remember that recycling helps to reduce pollution, which leads to reducing disease and it helps build more jobs and make more money. As a student, you have the responsibility to act now and brainstorm new ideas to help solve this urgent crisis!

The Importance of Recycling 24th Tuesday December 2024
By Ayansh
‘Hello people of the 1980s!’ ‘Now if you’re wondering who I am, that does not matter right now’. ‘The point is, in the year 2060, your world will be in grave danger’, ‘because our planet will be covered in nothing but trash’. ‘So, listen’:
‘After your done seeing this, I want you to go and start picking up every single piece of garbage you see and put it in a bin.’ ‘Thats because in the future, our houses will be covered in nothing but garbage.
Also, fossil fuels are not good, as they put toxic emissions into the air and make us sick. Using them in factories and letting them into the atmosphere can break the ozone layer. This will mean that more ultraviolet rays would reach the earth’s surface, which may cause skin cancer, cataracts, weakened immune system, reduced crop yields, disrupted marine food chain, damaged plants and genetic damage. Yes. All these will happen on earth if the Ozone Layer is destroyed.
First, what is recycling? Recycling is the process of taking materials that would normally be thrown away and turning them into new products. For example, paper and cardboard, when it is thrown away, the people who work at the recycling area will turn it into a cereal box, a tissue box or a paper towel. Also, aluminum cans can be melted down to create new aluminum products, such as electronics, car parts and airplane parts. Recycling is important because chucking a plastic water bottle, let us say, will take hundreds of years to decompose, and while that’s happening, it will poison the soil and water around it. If that same water bottle is put in a recycling bin, it’s life will change and will be turned into something else.
In conclusion, recycling is a job. A job to take care of our earth like how it takes care of us. Let us have a great environment and rivers running gently and great things happen. Only if we act now. So, let us live a great life once the world has changed.
The End

A Message from the Future – The Importance of Recycling and Protecting Our Planet
Greetings, students of the 1980s!
It’s an honor to stand before you today as someone who has traveled from the future—your future—to speak about something that will shape the world you live in. My message is simple, but it is urgent and incredibly important: the health of our planet depends on the actions we take today.
I come from the year 2060, and I am here to tell you that the choices you make in the coming years will determine whether we can create a sustainable, thriving world or whether we will face dire consequences for generations to come. The future is in your hands.
Now, you may be wondering, “Why is this person talking about the future? What does it mean for us?” Well, let me explain.
In your time, many of you are still getting used to ideas like recycling, energy conservation, and pollution control. You may even wonder if it’s worth the effort. Let me assure you: it is worth it. Every small step you take today will have a ripple effect on the future. And the future is not as bright as it could be if we don’t take responsibility for the damage we’re causing to our planet.
Climate Change: A Growing Crisis
When you look around today, the air is fresh, the waters are clean, and the earth seems abundant. But in 2060, we face serious environmental challenges. The climate is changing faster than anyone expected, and much of that change has been driven by our activities: burning fossil fuels, deforestation, overconsumption, and yes, the vast amounts of waste we generate every day.
The Earth is warming, causing the polar ice caps to melt, sea levels to rise, and extreme weather events to become more frequent and intense. Droughts, floods, heatwaves, and storms will become more severe, threatening the ecosystems we depend on. If we don’t act now, we will reach a point where the damage is irreversible. Our children, your children, will be the ones who face these consequences, and they will look back at this time—the 1980s—and ask why we didn’t do more to protect the planet.
Recycling: A Small Action, A Big Impact
One of the simplest and most powerful tools we have in our fight against climate change is recycling. You may not realize it yet, but the amount of waste you create each day—paper, plastic, metal, glass—has a profound impact on the environment. The energy it takes to produce new products, to extract raw materials, and to dispose of waste is staggering. But recycling can make a huge difference.
In the future, we have made great strides in recycling, and it has become an essential part of how we live. But in 1980, this is still a new concept, something that has not yet become second nature. I am here to tell you that recycling is not just about throwing bottles in a blue bin or separating your paper from your plastic. It’s about reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators. It’s about saving the energy needed to produce new materials from scratch. It’s about giving items a second life, so they don’t end up in places where they will poison our land, air, and water.
You may be thinking, “How much of a difference will it really make?” Well, let me tell you that every piece of plastic that is recycled, every can that is reused, every bottle that is turned back into something useful adds up. It’s a collective effort. If each of you, and millions of others like you, make the commitment to reduce, reuse, and recycle, the effects will be felt across the entire planet.
Sustainable Living: A New Way of Thinking
But recycling is just one part of the solution. You see, living sustainably means thinking differently about everything we consume. It means buying less, using more efficiently, and choosing products that are good for the environment—not just convenient or cheap. It means learning how to live within the Earth’s means, so that we don’t take more than can be replenished.
In my time, sustainability is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. The future will depend on renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and hydro power. The use of clean, efficient technology will be the standard. But that future didn’t happen overnight. It started with the small actions of people just like you in the 1980s who decided that they cared enough about the planet to make a change.
You can start today, right now, with the choices you make. Think about where you shop, what you eat, how you get around. Think about how you can reduce your carbon footprint and minimize your waste. If you begin to adopt these habits now, you will not only be helping the environment, but you will also be setting the example for the generations that follow.
You Are the Stewards of the Earth
The responsibility to protect our planet does not lie with future generations alone. It is your responsibility, right now. The decisions you make today will lay the groundwork for a sustainable world tomorrow. You are the stewards of the Earth. You are the ones who have the power to stop the harm we’re doing and turn things around.
In the future, we will look back at this time as a turning point. It will be remembered as the moment when people like you made the choice to take action. You can be the pioneers of a movement that will change the world for the better.
Don’t wait for someone else to make the change. You are the change. The future depends on what you do now.
So, I ask you: Will you rise to the challenge? Will you take responsibility for your world?
Thank you.
