We Americans throw away more than any other country. One quarter of all garbage can be reused, reduced, or recycled. We are going to tell you about recycling. We found out what you can recycle. Some of those things are floppy disks, batteries, computers, compact jeweler boxes, paper back books, mixed paper, parts of cameras, and greeting cards.
Greeting cards are a big thing .
That's what I am going to talk about next. For the last 25 years Saint Jude's Ranch, a non-profit youth home, has made a holiday card reuse program. The ranch provides counseling an opportunities for troubled youth. The kids operate a business taking used greeting cards, neatly cutting off the front covers, gluing on new back covers, and selling the result. The kids earn money, experience and a sense of purpose.
