 We do do recycling, but we're not a business. Gaia's Guardians is a nonprofit group. We encourage recycling as a way of protecting the environment. 
 00:04:11,220 
 I don't know. I mean, it is a good idea, but I really don't read the newspaper every day or anything. 
 00:04:17,959 
 And we don't come collect newspapers every day. In fact, we only do pickups every other week. 
 00:04:24,420 
 Oh, well, then maybe I could help. I mean, in my neighborhood, there's too much rubbish lying around everywhere. I'd like to help out, I guess. 
 00:04:33,520 
 That's great, sir. You're doing the right thing. Okay, I need to get your contact information. What's your name, please? 
 00:04:41,380 
 Peter Wisrow. 
 00:04:42,920 
 Peter... How do you spell your last name? W-I-S-R-O-W? 
 00:04:49,160 
 No, actually, it's W-I-S-R-O-U-G-H. 
 00:04:54,860 
 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a terrible speller. 
 00:04:57,480 
 You're a good speller. It's just that my family are terrible pronouncers. 
 00:05:02,260 
 You're quite a card, Peter. Okay, now, what's your address? 
 00:05:06,460 
 Number 168 Bridge Road. That's here in London. How about if I have any questions? 
 00:05:13,420 
 I'm sending you a copy of our booklet too. The booklet has our phone number and our email address, helpline@blackcat.com. That's H-E-L-P-L-I-N-E at B-L-A-C-K-C-A-T dot com. 
 00:05:33,640 
 But I nearly forgot to ask, what's your postcode? 
 00:05:36,880 
 BS97PU. 
 00:05:39,900 
 PS97BU? 
 00:05:42,820 
 No. That's B as in boy, S97P as in Peter, U. 
 00:05:51,400 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 
 00:06:27,810 
 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 
 00:06:33,490 
 So I'm guessing those yellow boxes I saw are for recycled newspapers. 
 00:06:38,610 
 Yes, that is correct, and it's free of charge. 
 00:06:42,030 
 Wow, that's good news. Do you recycle anything besides newspaper? 
 00:06:47,270 
 Oh, yes. We recycle most everything: glass, plastic, paper. 
 00:06:52,230 
 Oh, so I can put like glass and plastic bottles in the box. 
 00:06:57,450 
 Sorry again. Things like that you have to bring to our collection center. 
 00:07:02,990 
 And where is that? 
 00:07:04,630 
 Our main center isn't that far from you. It's actually right on the east side of Central Park. 
 00:07:10,790 
 That new blue building? 
 00:07:12,590 
 That's the one. 
 00:07:13,710 
 Cool. Hey, what's with all those different colored boxes outside that place? 
 00:07:18,930 
 Oh, that's for the different materials we recycle. The blue is for metal, the green is for glass and plastics, and the yellow, of course, is for paper. 
 00:07:29,710 
 Hmm. Okay. I'll try and manage to keep all that straight. 
 00:07:34,350 
 Oh, no need. They're each labeled. 
 00:07:36,850 
 Great. So which one would I put magazines in? 
 00:07:40,910 
 Actually, they don't go in any of the bins. Unfortunately, magazines can't be recycled because of the material they're made of. It's such a waste. So would you be interested in volunteering? 
 00:07:54,510 
 Um, I'll think about it. Could you send me some more info? 
 00:07:59,630 
 Absolutely. Along with the newspaper box, I'll be sending you our booklet, Savvy. That is S-A-double V-Y. It tells you about what you can do to protect the environment in your daily life. Plus, it lists things you can do as a volunteer with our group. 
 00:08:18,590 
 Hey, that's cool. Thanks. 
 00:08:21,370 
 My pleasure. Do you have any other questions or concerns? 
 00:08:25,470 
 Nope. That's it.
