The article describes an activity that can be used to teach students in an Earth science course about things that they can do to reduce their personal impact on the production of municipal solid waste. The activity involves showing students how paper can be easily recycled. It includes the creation of slurry, the addition of texture and color to paper, and the drying of recycled paper. As per the author's experience, the activity can be effective in encouraging students to engage in recycling at home.
