Advocacy Project

For my advocacy project, I took out a recycling bin by the boys gym out to the curb and back each week throughout the year. The journey from the gym to the curb was harsh! I pulled and I pulled! With the weight of the bin carrying me down! Like lead it dragged but I had to continue. Then after the long tireless stretch to the street, there came… the curb! A full 5 inches of sheer steep cliff! How could I make it? Well I’ll tell you, it was laborious! Some days, when the bin was too full, I would not be able to make it up this steep incline. But somehow I made it to the curb each week. Then comes this projects most annoying issue. Finding a spot on the curb! Every week I hope for a nice easy spot in front but this does not happen often. It’s a battle to get the perfect spot! People rushing and tugging their bins, racing to get there in time. If one fails to do so, they have to… walk 20 feet further! You can see how this is a serious issue. All of this effort and the struggles I went thorough for the good of recycling! How I admire myself and the other recycle bin transporters out there! Because of us, many plastic bottles and aluminum cans (and food people thought was recyclable) have found their way to a recycle center so they can be degraded into disposable items and sent to a landfill in India! Such great work we have done! i got bored while doing my project so i wrote this. i don;t think i'll be turning it in... so now i have to go do the real one :/
