PLANT LIFE DAY

The 14th of every May, everybody in the USA celebrate a day to plant flowers and trees. The main purpose of this day is plant new plants for the future. The schools always participate in this event because of its importance and also to teach the new generations. 
Our school also participated. While some students were collecting bottles and cans, others were digging a hole to plant firs. The majority of the neighbourhood were planting flowers. At the end of the day we improve our park. Now there are a lot of new types of plants and everything is clean, so many birds come.

RECYCLING PROGRAMMES: CURITIVA, BRAZIL

Curitiba is the most envirommental city in Brazil. This city has a different way to recycle.
In 1980s the Mayor of Curitiba worked with a team to design and create a "healthy" city. They wanted to include green areas, waste recycling and transportation projects.
In curitiba the poor people go to a green-point and there they can exchange their trust for food, like rice, beans, eggs, bus tickets...that the city buys inexpensively to the state's farmers. Also the poor people can bring their own food that they farm to exchange with other people to get other products.
The people there use the bus for most all, so they don't contaminate the atmosphere and they don't need to buy fuel, so they can use this money for other things.
Also they don't need a lot of factories to produce things and the people come to the green point instead of the car.
Now the city can recycle and reduce the 70% of the total waste.
