This is a short video about Recycling Aluminum. It explains that if we keep recycling aluminum, it will always be around. They also state that around two-thirds of all the aluminum that has ever been made is still around. New aluminum takes a lot of power to make but once it is made, it can be used again and again.
The sources for my blog were fairly easy to find. I felt that I was very successful in finding useful sources for my topic. There are many organizations out there that provide useful information about recycling. Most of my sources were not biased because they provided facts rather than opinions. Some however were biased on getting more people to recycle. Out of the websites that Ms. McKoy provided us, mashpedia.com was the most helpful. It provided all facts, and no opinions. I found a lot of useful information from websites that answered nearly all of my essential questions.
I felt that it was fairly easy for me to find the research that I needed for my blog. I easily stayed ahead of the set schedule and had time to edit and revise each of my posts. If I had to do this project again I would most likely choose a more challenging topic. Although I learned a lot of new information about recycling, I felt that it was very easy for me to complete the project. By completing this project I not only learned more about recycling, but I also learned how to find useful sources.
All of the words in my wordle are very purposeful however; the larger words are even more purposeful. Recycling was my entire research blog, it was very important to my research. The word “Citizens” was also important because it takes each and every citizen to make a difference when it comes to recycling. “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle” were three very important words because it is the recycling process. Lastly, environment was a very important word to my research because recycling has many benefits for the environment. Each and every word in my wordle had a purpose to my topic.
After completing more research about recycling, I really learned a lot of new and useful information. I learned that recycling really does play a large role in South Carolina’s environment and economy. The recycling industry in South Carolina is still on the rise and is expected to increase rapidly over the next few years. I was very shocked to discover that many landfills are being closed down in the United States, but more waste is created every day. With the landfills being closed down, where will all of the garbage go when there are not enough landfills? If more citizens do not start recycling soon then we will run out of space for the waste produced. I was glad to hear that although many landfills are being closed down, there an abundance of new recycling centers opening up. This means that more citizens are starting to realize that recycling benefits our everyday lives. I hope that over the next few years, more landfills close down, and new recycling centers open up across the planet.
