The landfill was awesome and very interesting how the ponds were filled with cat fish because they enjoy the kids coming here and go fishing at the pond, they also have an automatic fish feeder at the end of the pond. The water was crystal clear. The landfill did not smell bad at all and i I was really shocked. The black stuff on the mountain was ash from the garbage they burned. When the bulldozers up the trash the seagulls would go under the lifter because there would be trash there. There were all kinds of birds like seagulls, black vultures, turkey vultures, and bold ea-gulls. The mountain was like about 150 feet high above sea level.

I think the facility was very interesting how they burn the trash, even when they create pollution they clean it up and turn it into steam by adding water into it. If you take a close look at the trash you can see steam coming out of it, that's because it started to decompose.They try to recycle as much trash as they can. they don't burn the recycled trash.
This video tells us how much our earth is being polluted!!!!!!!!!!!!!
recycling paper in our school
journal entry #3 may 15, 2014
Well, we started a recycling paper program at school by putting boxes in each class so we recycle a lot of paper to help our environment. We're doing this because each school throws away more than 22 kg of paper every year! We also want to encourage other schools to do the same thing. Each person in the United States Of America uses more than 2 pine trees worth of paper every year. Luckily much of our paper comes from recycled paper, not directly from the trees. Office paper can be recycled into paper egg cartons, cereal boxes, insulation, ceiling tiles, and more.
This helps our earth because less paper gets thrown away each year and there is less pollution in the air when the incinerator burns it into ash.
