Recycling things like paper, plastic, and metal helps the earth by cutting down on trash. Yet many people throw away their newspapers, bottles, and cans instead of recycling them. The question, then, is how to encourage more people to recycle. One way that works is to put recycling containers in more places. Seeing more recycling bins helps people remember to use them. Another way is to teach people why recycling is important. If we make recycling easier and teach people why it matters, more people will join in.

What killed the dinosaurs? Many people believe that the dinosaurs were killed when an asteroid hit the earth. An asteroid is a small, rocky object that orbits the sun. However, some scientists now think that the asteroid wasn't the only cause. Some scientists think that there were climate changes before the asteroid hit. They believe that these climate changes killed some animals and plants that dinosaurs needed for food. Also, some scientists believe there may have been harmful gases in the air that killed many dinosaurs. So, when the asteroid hit, it made things even worse for the dinosaurs.
Scientists believe that it may have been more than an asteroid that killed dinosaurs.
