Recycling girl:Hello people. How are you doing today?

Julia: So, tell me. How is the work here at the recycling center?Recycling girl: Well, we have more than 300 workers(7) that bring us, every day, our raw material(8).
Pedro: Raw material? What is your raw material?Recycling girl: Well, all kind of trash(9) that can be recycled. Specially paper and plastic.We work with aluminumcans(10) and glasses(11) too.
Pedro: When did you start with this program?Recycling girl: We started five years ago with 30 workers, and now we have 300. For the next year we will have more than 500 workers.
Mariana: So, recycling is not only good for the environment. It can be a job opportunity(12) too.Recycling girl: Yes, it can.

Julia: I was talking to my neighbors(17) and we realized(18) that there were few(19) people taking care of(20) our neighborhood. We could see(21) trash on the streets everywhere(22). So, we thought that if we developed a project that involves all the community, we could make our neighborhood cleaner(23) and improve(24) our life quality.Recycling girl: That’s a wonderful idea
