**Project Background Information:**

As landfills in the world start filling up with raw/waste materials, there is no where else for trash to be dumped. People have tried burning trash from landfills but that just pollutes the air we breathe. As far back as 400 BC, people have been recycling used materials. Some of the more common recycled materials are many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles and electronics. All of us have a responsibility to do our part in helping the earth be a cleaner and better place to live.

 * **Explain why protecting the environment is important.**
