This is recycling around the world with Melissa McGinnis!

Let's get to our tips and questions from our viewers and correspondents from all over the country. First off a trip to Florida and to visit with our friend Shiraz whi has a straight, single-stream tip for us.

Shiraz: Hey Melissa this is Shiraz reporting for GreenopolisTV, and today I will be giving you some tips and insights on recycling. If you like eating cereals, cookies, crackers, or you like drinking soda, then this material looks very familiar to you. This is actually called chipboard or paperboard. This material can be recycled. A lot of people mistake this for cardboard. It's actually a much lower grade of cardboard but it can be recycled. Now, of course check with your local recycling coordinator to see if it's acceptable in your municipal recycling program. Now if you have any questions then feel free to email them at myvideo @ greenopolis.com and Melissa back to you.

Melissa: Thanks Shiraz. Now we'll go to New York to introduce you to our new correspondents, Tristin and Tyler. I hear they have some crafty recycling tips for us today.

Tyler: Thanks Melissa. I'm Tyler.
Tristin: And I'm Tristin.
Both: And we're reporting for GreenopolisTV
Tristin: We're going to show you how we've reused paper and cardboard in our craft.
Tyler: Check this out. We cut the cereal box and made a picture frame. Then we put a picture of our cousin inside. How cool is that?
Tristin: Check this out. We've turned toilet paper roll into a toilet paper cat. Now that's recycling. You're watching GreenopolisTV. Goodbye from New York City.
Both: Bye Bye... See you later.

Melissa: Could they be any more adorable? Now let's head over to Los Angeles to meet Grainne Fyke, the current founder and president of her environmental awareness club on campus. She's currently working on several resource conservation and recycling initiatives on campus. Let's see what Grain is up to.

Grainne: Hi my name is Grainne Fyke and I'm reporting for GreenopolisTV. I'm from Central Los Angeles highschool number 9, and I'm also the founder of the environmental awareness club. And right now we're trying to replace the Styrofoam lunch trays in our cafeteria for a more environmentally friendly option that we can use. And we're looking at a bunch of different things. We have these trays that are plant-based and they're biodegradable and so these will be a lot better because the Styrofoam trays go to the landfills and can't be recycled or anything. We have these and we also have, there's a company called Greenworks, and they do recycled plastics, so we're looking at different things from there. And I just came across a program called Dream Machine Recycle rally and it's a program and it's a program where you can have a scan-it recycling program at your school so each time you recycle something, you get points for your school. And you can go on to their website, and you can go on to their website and they have all the different schools that are competing so you can see how you're doing with, in terms of other schools. And it's a really great program and I hope that our school can do it, and the other schools can do it too. There are very cool prizes for the winning school and I'm really excited about getting this for our school. So if you want to visit the website, it's www.dreammachinerecyclerally.com and you can find out all about the program.

Melissa: Good luck on getting on that recycling rally program. I hear it's a lot of fun. Let's head over to Oklahoma city for this week's street beat!

Alright, all of you Dream Machine and Greenopolis kiosk users, look for us coming to a town near you. You'll never know when you're going to run into us. This week we ran into an adorable girl and father recycling duo. They come to this resource once a week to recycle as many bottles as they capture, because they both are working on getting a lot of points at their Greenopolis.com account for the coupon Baha Jacks. Apparently, they both love eating at that restaurant.
