Recycle City


        Recycle City Internet Activity

     A) The Widgets made at the Widget Manufacturing Company are made from recycled metals that are recovered from the Recycle City Materials Recovery Facility, and Joe’s Auto Wreckers.
     B) Vinegar can be utilized as a versatile cleaner. One half-cup of vinegar followed by a handful of baking soda can be used as a drain cleaner. Vinegar and water can also be used to clean wall, floors and glass.
     C)  Old tires can be shredded or melted down and used to make other materials such as asphalt, or playground surfaces. Old tires have been used in Recycle City to create a safe obstacle course. Even the play area surrounding the playground is made from old recycled tires.
     D) The plastic benches outside city hall are made from recycled polyethylene plastic which originally held milk.
     E)  An electric car can be found outside Shaq’s Garage.
     F)  Coffee grounds can be used in compost bins as fertilizer for plants and produce. The local school in Recycle City utilizes the coffee grounds from the coffee shop for their compost which grows lettuce.

Recycle City is a sustainable metropolis inhabited by environmentally conscious people who have abandoned their wasteful habits in favor of a more idyllic and efficient lifestyle. Originally known as Dumptown, the people of Recycle City soon realized that their superfluous lifestyles began to cultivate an uninhabitable environment filled with dangerous waste and toxins. They quickly learned to reduce, reuse, and recycle, by paying attention to what they threw away and even where it went. After a brief period of time known as the Recycle Revolution, an era characterized by frequent deaths and extraneous labor, Recycle City was born.(P.S. I made the last part up)
