The topic I want to explore is the amount of recycling done at the university of Iowa. I personally don't think we recycle enough which is hurting our earth. I also think there should be a class or a 1 sh hour class thought about what is recyclable and what is compostable etc. I feel most people do not know so they just throw their garbage in whichever trash can. If the university of Iowa offered this it would educate us and ultimately help our campus as well as the earth. This topic interests me because although it could be a large topic I am choosing to just focus on the school I attend. I also work in a restaurant that does not recycle and it bugs me a great amount. in this speech, I am aiming to argue that we need to recycle and why recycle is so important. I believe we need to educate more people on this topic. here are some resources : http://www.recycling-guide.org.uk/importance.html https://www.earthsfriends.com/why-recycling-important/
