What Can You Do to Make a Difference?

1. Recycle!
There may be lots of things that adults can do better than kids, but recycling isn't one of them. If you check the plastics in your house for the #1 symbol and recycle, you'll be doing your part for the environment.

2. Teach Your Family to Look Out For #1!
Does your family know how to spot PET plastic? Make sure that everyone in your house knows the proper way to recycle and don't let them throw PET bottles in the trash.

3. Get Your School Involved!
Does your school have an organized recycling program? If not, why don't you start one? Ask your science teacher to help you and get your friends involved, too!

4. Learn More About Recycling!
Different communities collect different recyclable materials. Be sure to ask your parent or teachers to check with your local recycling program to find out which materials are accepted in your area.

5. Check out the NAPCOR Store!
Our NAPCOR Store has free educational items that show various stages of recycled PET. These items can be used in science class, show and tell, or for an afternoon group.
