Recycling means to produce a new material out of discarded ones. Through

this process, a new product is created using a material that has already served its
purpose.

Recycling has a lot of benefits. It prevents wastage of a material that can

actually be useful for a different purpose. Moreover, it also helps reduce the use of
raw materials. Lastly, it also provides a source of income to families by selling the
new products they formed from discarded materials.

Are the recyclable materials found in the list available in your locality,
community, or at home? How many of these recyclable materials can be found at
home? What do you usually do with these materials? Do you consider recycling? Why
is there a need to recycle materials?

imagination and creativity, you can make your own version of facial mask, hanging
garden, pencil or ball pen holder, etc.
Recycling produces a new material or product out of discarded ones. Glass
bottles can be reused as containers of other liquids or materials. Stained glass can
be recycled to form a new product like bottle chimes or paper weights. The purpose
or recycling should be different from its original function but the idea of minimizing
waste has been achieved.

Activity 7 – Be Protected

Task: Make your own version of face mask with rubber bands or hair ties.

Materials: old clean t-shirt, scissors, ruler or tape measure, 2 rubber bands or
large hair ties

Procedure:

1. Lay an old t-shirt out on a flat surface. Using a ruler

or tape measure, start at the bottom of the shirt
and measure up 7-8 inches.

2. Cut up and across. You will end up with a big

rectangle. This will be the material for your
face mask. Place the remaining material from
the t-shirt to the side.

3. Place the rectangular piece of fabric on a flat

surface and fold the material from the bottom to the
middle. Then, fold the material from the top to the
middle.

4. Fold it again from the bottom to the

middle, and the top to the middle. This
will be your mask.

5. Loop a rubber band or large hair tie

around each end of the fabric, about 2
inches in from the end of the fabric.

6. Fold the right side in towards the center,

then, the left side in towards the center. The two
should meet.

7. Grab the mask by the rubber bands or hair ties

and place over your mouth, securing each side by
wrapping the band or hair tie around your ear.
This should be tight enough to keep the mask in
place.
