The Life of a Plastic
Bottle
by Rus
One day
a bottle was lying on the side of the road when suddenly...WHAM!
"Hey
watch were your going!" exclaimed the bottle.
"Sorry,"
yelled the other bottle to be heard over the traffic, "I was just thrown
out of a truck, and I can tell you that was not fun."
"Oh
no, a truck! Roll!" yelled the first bottle."
I
can't! It is a huge drop into the sea!" (It was actually a river but
bottles are so small they can't tell the difference).
Then the truck flew by blowing the bottle into
the river. The bottle floated away with the river until he was swept onto the
shore and right into a group of girls. The girls were cleaning up after their
picnic when one of them saw the bottle. She yelled, "Another one over here!"
A girl rushed over with the recycling and scooped up the bottle and threw him
in recycling . Then she put the bin in their car and drove away. The bottle was
worried...
"I
am going to be thrown out. Lots of things, for example a bottle, will not
deteriorate for millions of years. It is
thrown out and stays there indefinitely." Then the car came to a sudden
stop, and then the bin was picked up with the bottle and put in the center.
After going through the recycling and melting process, he came out as a
sippycup.
"Oh no," he thought, "I know people throw out
sippycups!" Later he was sold to a
lady because she had a baby who needed a sippycup. She would not throw him out because
she had seen the landfill and how much beautiful land was wasted to make room
for all that rubbish to be dumped.
Later
the baby took the sippycup, lifted it up to his mouth, and threw it on the
floor. This happened over and over again until one day the boy did not need his
sippycup, so they put the sippy cup in the recycling.
"I can't wait to see what I am going to be next!"
exclaimed the bottle.
