Reading

Noah's class is doing a project about recycling, and each student has to research a different material. Noah chose to research plastic bottles and discovered some surprising facts. He learned that a single plastic bottle can take hundreds of years to break down naturally in the environment. To help reduce plastic waste, Noah's family started using a reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic ones every week. Noah also found out that recycled plastic can be turned into new products, such as clothing, furniture, and even playground equipment. For his presentation, Noah made a poster showing the journey of a plastic bottle from the shop to the recycling bin and finally into a new product. His classmates were impressed by how much he had learned, and his teacher gave him top marks for his research.
