Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products or raw materials, thereby reducing the consumption of fresh resources, energy usage, and environmental impact associated with extracting and manufacturing new materials. It is an essential practice for sustainable waste management and plays a crucial role in conserving natural resources and mitigating environmental pollution.

Recycling helps preserve valuable natural resources like timber, water, minerals, and fossil fuels. By reusing materials such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass, we reduce the need for extracting and processing new resources from the Earth. Recycling reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills or incinerators, minimizing the environmental and health hazards associated with waste disposal. Instead of discarding items after use, they are collected, sorted, and processed to be transformed into new products.

Speaker Guidelines:

Organize Your Research

1. State the hypothesis and purpose of your research.

2. Describe your methods of investigation.

3. Include data collected and what was learned.

4. Give conclusions based on the collected data.

5. Emphasize the significance and highlights of the research.

Shape Your Presentation

1. Prepare notes that highlight the salient points of your talk.

2. Practice the delivery of your talk, along with your slide sequence. Be sure your talk fits the time allotted.

3. Use simple sentences. Avoid jargon, highly specialized vocabulary, and unfamiliar abbreviations.

4. Think about questions you might be asked, and prepare your answers.

5. Audio-visuals should amplify your talk, not duplicate it.

6. Do not include music or film clips or other copyrighted content with your presentation unless it is directly relevant to your research. If you must include music, film clips, or similar content, please ensure that it is either open source or content for which you have copyright permissions to use. Optimally display your work—don't use words if a picture conveys it more clearly (graphs, tables, charts, etc.).

7. Use line graphs to show trends; bar graphs to compare magnitudes; pie graphs to demonstrate relative portions of a whole.

8. Make sure your supporting audio-visuals are concise, uncluttered, and easily read from a distance. We recommend that you use a font of at least eighteen points or larger. This is especially important in presentations to a virtual audience because screen sizes vary by user.

9. Request special AV equipment early or it may not be available.
