Did you know that plastic can be recycled into fleece jackets, park benches and backpacks? Our city supports the environment in a lot of ways. From recycling to bike sharing to earth-friendly buildings, the people of Chicago are always finding new ways to go green. You can play a role in reducing waste too!
Once you finish using a plastic bottle, you may think that's the end of its story...but that's only the beginning! Think about the journey your bottle goes on. Is it recycled into something else? Does it end up in the ocean? Who does it meet along the way?
Write a story or a poem, draw some pictures, create a comic or choose your own way to share your bottle's adventure.
