Cotton recycling

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a shirt or a towel made out of cotton? Well, cotton is a type of plant that grows really well in warm places. But did you know that when people are done using their cotton clothes or towels, they just throw them away? That's bad for the environment because it creates a lot of garbage.

So, some really smart people came up with an idea to help save the environment by recycling cotton. Recycling means taking something old and making it into something new and useful again. Recycling cotton clothes and towels means that instead of throwing them away, they can be turned into other things like new clothes, toys, or even paper!

But, how does cotton recycling work? First, the old cotton clothes and towels are collected from people who don't want them anymore. Then, they go through a process where they are cleaned and turned into a type of thread called "yarn." Yarn is what companies use to make new clothes, towels, and other cotton items.

The best part about cotton recycling is that it helps the environment by reducing the amount of garbage that goes into landfills. Landfills are places where garbage is buried and they can get really full and gross over time. By recycling cotton, we're helping to keep the environment clean and healthy for everyone.

So, remember next time you're done using your cotton clothes or towels, instead of throwing them away, you can recycle them! It's a great way to save the planet and make sure we have a happy and healthy Earth for years to come.
