A few reports ago, I talked about my recycling campaign where I collected paper from my fellow classmates. Now, I would like to talk about my progress in my recycling campaign. When I first started it, I did not think I would receive much paper from my friends and thought that the campaign would be a complete fail. 

I was wrong. In just the first week, I have collected 5 kilograms of paper. My friends were glad to get rid of their past papers and I was over-the-top happy to receive all of those papers even though it was heavy. In the next continuing weeks, I collected more and more paper. I could collect about 5-8 kilograms of paper each week. 

This campaign has been going on for 5 weeks and I will be taking it to the recycling place this Wednesday. So far, I have collected over 30 kilograms of paper. The last time I checked, it was 38 kilograms of paper, but that was before I collected a huge pile more. 

Collecting all of these paper made me both sad and happy. I was happy that I got support from all of my friends and I?m happy that they were willing to donate their papers for the good of the environment, but I?m sad as it proves that humans have exploited the use of paper and exploited trees. Paper is part of why deforestation occurs. It is time for me to make a difference in my school. It would break my heart terribly to see the unused paper go to waste so this recycling campaign could be the change we needed.
