We have talked about recycling alot and that's what I think we should work on because it is somerthing that has been getting alot of attention lately and it is also something people are willing to help out with like sponsers. We could also have fundraisers to help us raise money to buy recycling bins and we could take volunteers to help pick up the recycling bins every week.

Jennifer : ~ Recycling

__**LOBBYING :**__ ~ Destroys people's self-esteem ~ People take their own lives ( Pheobee Prince ) because they are so depressed ~ Once bullying stops people can look at other issues such as recycling because they don't have to worry about being teased ~ People do NOT come to school because they are being teased so much ~ People DROP OUT because they are being teased so much ~ Bullying is starting at young ages now which means little kids are feeling bad about themselves ~ Teachers dont always see the bullying so they can't always report it ~ WE should do this because kids can influence other kids to be better people and look at life differently ~ We cannot RISK having someone else take their OWN life because of bullying ~ Families are falling apart ~ Children are lost whitin themselves and believe they don't belong in this world because they are being bullied so much ~ What if your own sibling was being bullied ? Wouldnt you want it to stop ? Because I do

__**Reflection on Lobbying :**__ We were assigned sides & we had to argue for them although we might have agreed with the opposite side. We had to do research and type the causes we believed would support our decision. Then we had to hear from the other side and they trying to INFLUENCE us to vote for their cause which is the whole point of lobbying. We then had a minute to ask questions and try to influence the other team mewmber to vote for our cause.

You can get a recycling bin at local sanatation department. The same department that picks up your trash.
