service+day-Jack+WellsAlex

We learned many important things on service day. We went to Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful on our service day. We learned what kind of plastics you can recycle and how long it takes for glass to decompose. We also went to the building that the call the MRF. That stands for Milwaukee Recycling Facility. It was very fun to see all the items being recycled.

 * This is a polluted river with a lot of trash in it. This makes the water harder and it kills many animals. || [[image:Service_Day_Photo_6.jpg width="358" height="265"]] ||
