__Lobying- Recycling__ __Bullying__ __Q and A__ Does bullying crate jobs? No it doesnt but the jobs are picking up cans and people do that already
 * Bullying because it makes school an unsafe enevironment for learning which is entitled to all citizens

 * 2) recycled products can be used again for other things
 * 3) avoids creating new and larger landfills
 * 4) cuts cost of producing products
 * 5) 75 to 90 percent less energy to create aluminum from recycled products
 * 6) preserving raw materials but also to easing the energy needed to manufacture various goods
 * 7) with the creation of new jobs more people recycle, the number of people required to collect, sort and process recycled items continues to grow. More jobs in the community means more money spent in local stores, more taxes collected for the city or town, and in general a healthier economy for everyone concerned
 * 8) maintaining a healthy balance in the ecology of the planet. By not having to mine raw materials in order to continue producing the same volume of products, there is less damage to our rivers, forests, and areas where wildlife is abundant. Since every form of life on the planet is dependent on the presence of another form of life, maintaining an ecological balance is key to providing security for the generations to come.

Does recyling stop people from killing themseves? In a way yes it creates balance ecology which is needed for security and life of mankind

Recap- We lobbied between bullying and recycling deciding which subject is better to help out. For instance stop bullying and increase recycling. In the lobbying process the bullying team stated their case first while i listened and took notes. Then I stated my case while the bulling team took notes. With the notes we collected we Q and Aed each other with holes we found in their arguments.

__Do Now 2__ To get a recycling bin you can take a cardboard box and right recycle on it.

The outcome of this action civics project is the entire of city of Malden will have a recycling system setup to get the point out that recycling is needed.

For teachers to be provided a recycle bin and for students and staff to actually use it.

Most of what we recycle still ends up in landfills said on bbc news. Meaning why recycle if were just putting it with the trash. That is a waste of time and effort of the people to sort it out from the trash and sort it out more between paper and plastic.

Homework- recycling doubles energy consumption and pollution while it costs taxpayers more money than disposing of plain old garbage.
