While reading the article, 'Reduce, Reuse, Replay' written by Kelli Plasket, I realized that people can recycle and have fun at the same time. In the article there is a band called The Garbage-Men, and they play their own homemade instruments, made out of garbage, in the streets and in public places to advertise fun ways to recycle.The purpose of this article is to show that there are ways to have fun while recycling and this article is important because it helps advertise more fun and creative ways to reuse old items.
This article is important because it is an example of people saving the earth and having fun with it at the same time, also encouraging other people to join them in coming up with new ways to recycle. Five boys come together to form a band called The Garbage-Men and play in places like farmers markets, festivals, and community fundraisers. While they are playing, one of the band member's little brother passes out fliers about the importance of recycling, and finding new and artistic ways to recycle. That is one reason why this article is important.
Another reason why this article is important is because when the band, The Garbage-Men, plays a gig, they collect tips. When the band makes their tips they always donate it to organizations that help improve recycling throughout the earth. They have raised almost 2,500 dollars for the Heifer International. “It’s a good, sustainable-development charity,” Jack, one of the band member's says. “By donating one animal, you help an entire community.” This shows that this band is benefiting people in a way that isn't just spreading a positive word, but also raising money for communities. That is another reason why this article is important.
So while I read this article, I did realize that there is a lot more that I could do to recycle and many more ways, even with having fun with it. Altogether, I realized that this article is very important, and impacting.
