Recycling: One Way To Make Money

Recycling non-biodegradable solid waste like used mineral water containers and drinking straws into vases, ash trays base and flowers can help reduced solid pollutants in the environment......

     Recycling material is one way to aid our environment nowadays that it is seriously suffering from global warming. It is also a way of conserving the resources and also it is also the way of life  here in our municipality—Monkayo because we earn money through recycled materials.

     These turned to be “garbage” is made to become useful handicrafts and sell it to the market as a fully furnished material that would capture your eyes because of its beautifully handmade designs not only beautiful but also elegant. An example to that is the used  plastic mineral water bottles which can be design into flower vase and ashtray where used plastic drinking  straws  are used as accent in making flowers.

     Our school—the Monkayo National High School created a fashion show that would highlight all the recycled dresses or we called it “The Trash Fashion Contest”. This is to give importance to the trash that we thought to be not useful but can be made into stylish dresses and pillows. Over twenty dresses and fifteen pillows were made. The dresses were perfectly fitted to models that you would not believe it came from trash.

    There is no doubt that our school– Monkayo National High School—is one of the most eco-friendly school in the Compostela Valley Province. We also supports the campaigns regarding about the environment, also, strictly implementing the separation of garbage from biodegradable wastes to non-biodegradable waste to the recycled one. And there are two Material Recovery Facilities(MRF) inside the school campus.

     One of the projects of the YES-O is to buy new laboratory apparatus and equipment. In relation to this, used bottles are collected from the students and were sold to the junk shop. That way, the school saves the nature and at the same time, gains money in a modest way.

     The school also encouraging students to make profit out of papers and plastic bottles so even in a simple manner, the students make money in a good way.

     So keep on recycling to earn money and help make the environment clean!
