January+Service+Day-Olivia+W+and+Lisa

These are pictures from our January Service day project. They show some highlights of our trip and what we did. We hope you enjoy!

Here are some things that we learned on our trip:
 * [[image:Paper_Processor.jpg width="253" height="182"]] || This is the MRF or the Materials Recycling Facility. When we went into it, it smelled really bad. This is where they recycle things like cardboard, plastic, and other things like that. ||
 * This is the Milwaukee River. As you can see, there is tons and tons of garbage in the river. Even though the river is polluted, there are still ducks living in it. || [[image:Trash_in_the_river.jpg width="277" height="164"]] ||
 * [[image:3rs.jpg width="312" height="234"]] || This is a sign that lets you know that you should always reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost. They are in this order so that you don't just recycle things right away. They could be reused. We have more about the 3 R's on Page 2. ||
 * If we keep polluting the river, the ducks will die, get sick, or not have a nice, clean home. || [[image:duuuuuuck.jpg width="348" height="210"]] ||
 * [[image:KGMB1.jpb.jpg width="302" height="227"]] || This is all of us at [|Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful]. The lady in the center was our guide and she told us all about recycling and why it is so important. Up above, we have a link to KGMB's website. ||
 * We learned that in Wisconsin, you can only recycle things that are numbered 1 and 2. 3-7 can't be recycled here.
 * We learned that around the Milwaukee River has a lot of garbage around it.
 * We learned that animals are affected by our pollution of the water.
 * We also learned that people should be a ton more careful where they put their garbage.
