Welcome
Welcome to issue 15 of Green Kids where we get creative with junk and think about recycling. You can find out about how your waste gets recycled and cool things that you can make and do at home. Thereʼs a fun game in the centre for eco-kids and their families and a recipe for delicious pancakes on page six. Hope you enjoy it!

We could recycle much more – we should all aim to cut the amount of rubbish we throw away by 50%.

What is Recycling?
Itʼs when we make something new out of something old. Glass, for example, can be melted down and remade into bottles and jars. Recycled metals are also melted. Recycled paper is mixed with water to create a pulp from which new sheets of paper are made.
