Answer Options
A.
Friends,
Our community generates about 2 tonnes of plastic waste each week, with only 30% recycled. Those numbers show we have room for improvement.
Imagine our neighbourhood as a bank. When we deposit recyclable items, we invest in a future where resources are saved.
Do we really want our children to inherit streets littered with plastic bags and bottles?
Recycling reduces landfill pressure and cuts greenhouse‑gas emissions. By separating waste at home, we can make a difference.
Let's think about recycling.

Imagine our neighbourhood as a bank. When we deposit recyclable items, we invest in a future where resources are saved and the environment thrives. When we fail to deposit, we withdraw from that future.
Do we really want our children to inherit streets littered with plastic bags and bottles?
Recycling reduces landfill pressure, cuts greenhouse‑gas emissions, and even creates local jobs. By separating paper, glass and plastics at home, we can cut waste by half within a year.
Let us start today: join the neighbourhood recycling club, place bins at your doorstep, and make our streets cleaner. Together, we can turn waste into wealth.

Dear neighbours,
Our neighbourhood produces about 5 tonnes of plastic waste each week, and only 60% of household rubbish is currently recycled. That means a large amount of material still ends up in landfill.
Think of our streets as a garden. When we plant recyclable habits, we nurture a healthier environment.
Recycling helps reduce landfill, cuts emissions and can create jobs. By separating paper, glass and plastics at home, we could improve our waste profile.
Join the recycling effort and place bins at your doorstep.
