Mia s Mission: The Magic of Recycling
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. One day, her teacher taught her about recycling. Mia learned that recycling means using old things to make new ones. It helps to save our planet by reducing trash. Without recycling, it can take a plastic bottle 450 years to decompose in a landfill, but it can be recycled and made into a new bottle in just a few weeks! Mia was amazed and decided to start recycling at home. She arranged separate bins for paper, plastic, and glass. She also encouraged her friends to recycle. Mia realized that even small actions can make a big difference if everyone participates. Her neighborhood became cleaner and greener because of recycling.
