[00:17.82]Dear Diary,
[00:20.66]This week we learned¹ about pollution.
[00:25.03]I never knew that garbage was so interesting!
[00:30.88]On Tuesday,Danny,Brian and I started a school yard clean-up.
[00:38.14]Our classmates helped.
[00:41.80]We all took bags and worked together.
[00:46.26]We picked up all the rubbish.
[00:50.39]The next day,Brian,Danny and I took a walk through our neighbourhood.
[00:57.16]We picked up any garbage we saw.
[01:01.41]Danny found a toy car with one broken wheel.
[01:06.66]He took it home,cleaned it,and repaired it.
[01:11.94]The next day,we took our bags of garbage to school.
[01:17.58]We sorted all of it into paper,plastic,metal,glass and other.
[01:24.45]Most of the garbage was paper.People waste a lot of paper!
[01:32.00]There was less plastic than paper,and more plastic than metal.
[01:38.85]Glass was the least.
[01:42.48]Our teacher also taught us about how garbage is recycled.
[01:48.93]Later this month we will take a class trip.
[01:54.10]We will see where the city workers sort all of our garbage for recycling.
[02:01.05]Today,Danny made a car out of garbage!
[02:06.33]He used a big cardboard² box for the body and pieces of wood for the seats.
[02:13.49]He used a bit of glue to put on the wheels.
[02:18.21]The wheels were plastic lids³.It was great!
