Script (Teacher's copy): "Hello, everyone. Today, let's talk about something we all hear about: recycling. Many people think recycling is just about putting plastic bottles in a special bin. But it's much more. It's a key part of protecting our environment for the future. When we recycle, we save energy. For example, making new aluminum from old cans uses 95% less energy than making it from raw materials. This also means less pollution. Some critics say recycling is too difficult or not effective, but studies show communities with strong recycling programs have cleaner air and water. So, the next time you have a choice, think about the planet. It's not just a small act; it's a contribution to a larger solution."
