Wright Rusell, a freshman at Jamesville-DeWitt High School, wrote the following for Voices. Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22.
Earth Day is a good day to enjoy the environment and understand it.
I think that the global warming crisis is a big deal, and this Earth Day, people should do things to help decrease global warming.
One thing people could do is go and get new recycling bins. I encourage people to use recycling bins more. Putting things such as plastic and paper in bins will greatly help our environment.
It may be a pain to get recycling bins but by separating things that can be recycled, you are making this world a better place, and that is what Earth Day is about.
Anyone in Onondaga County can go to http://www.ocrra.org/recycling_bluebins.asp to order a free recycling bin andlearn how to dispose of an old one. People can even learn about what to put in each bin.
By disposing of our waste properly, we help our environment.
