I think what we did was a great idea. I like debating and discussing what they think opposed to what I think because it shows another side of the argument and helps you understand the other side. Also, it gives other opinions that may have an effect on your own. In my opinion, I think that most people that do this, will most likely change their mind about their debate.

 * __ How to get a recycling bin: __**

Getting a recycling bin is a very simple task. One way is by simply asking the government in a very proper, respectful way if they can provide you with one if there is a good cause. Also, you can just go on the internet or go to the store and buy one. Another way is by creating your own box or place where you can put your recycable items and then after a certain amount of time, you can put it in a bigger bin provided to the public for recycling. In my opinion, I think that the school should provide money to recyle as they do books.
