  • Too many children in the world live in poverty. Those who are lucky enough to have many toys and games must recycle them so. group 5 discussion forum

     We have researched about toys and we didn't find information about how much toys we throw every year, we've looked in many pages and the only thing we found was information about how many toys kids have. Kids have about 500 toys each. We have a solution and that is to pull apart the parts of each toy and recycle them.

     We have also researched about glass and cans because we didn't find information about how many toys kids throw each year. About 180 tons of glass packaging and 70 tons of plastic packaging were recycled year 2013. That was only 70% of all glass packaging and 30% of all plastic packaging, if more people recycle it is going to be more percent that gets recycled and that's even better

    It is impressive the number of toys gathered and every child has a toy or many toys. If you put all together you will see that it is too much toys. We think it is very good idea to recycle all our old toys and all people should do this to help the environment .

    Now in Greece,  because  of the economic crisis and the refugees, we have (there are too many children!)  it is important  not only to recycle toys but to give them to other poor children or collect many and send them to the refugee . I think this is important too
