Bonjour, je m’appelle Guillaume. Le centre municipal de recyclage est situé à plus de dix kilomètres de ma maison. Malgré cela, j’essaie de recycler autant que possible.

Salut, je m’appelle Nadège. Pour moi, il est essentiel de recycler le plastique et le verre, mais chez moi, on ne recycle pas le papier parce qu’on le brûle. Ça aide à chauffer la maison.
Hi, my name’s Nadège. For me it is essential to recycle plastic and glass, but in my family we do not recycle paper because we burn it. It helps us heat the house.
