What is the central idea of the passage? Recycling things like paper, plastic, and metal is beneficial for our environment by cutting down on trash. Yet many people throw away their water bottles, shipping boxes, and cans instead of recycling them. An increased focus on getting more people to recycle is leading people to develop creative ways to make it easier for Americans. One way is to put bright colored recycling containers in more places. Seeing more recycling bins helps people remember to use them. Another idea that has been developed is reverse vending machines. These machines are the opposite of traditional vending machines since you give it a recyclable good and it gives you money or reward in return. Hopefully more places will introduce new and unique ways to get people to start recycling.

Bright colored collection bins will help encourage people to protect the environment.
The amount of people who recycle will increase if innovative methods are implemented.
Reverse vending machines that gives money for recyclable goods is a creative recycling solution.
What is the central idea of this article?: The history of the Penny goes back over 1,200 years ago. The first pennies were made in 790 A.D. The word penny originally denoted any sort of coin or money, not just a small denomination. In fact, Great Britain is the only country to have a denomination that is officially called the penny. In the United States we have been calling our one-cent coins “pennies” for centuries, largely because our one-cent coin was inspired by the British penny. However, the official name of the coins we endearingly call pennies today is the cent. Over 300 billion one-cent coins, with 11 different designs have been minted since 1787, but some of them are more valuable than others. For example, the 1943 Bronze Lincoln recently sold in a private action for $1.7 million dollars. In order to preserve copper for the war effort, the U.S. Mint switched to making pennies from zinc-coated steel planchets, instead of the usual bronze coin blanks. But, some of the old bronze planchets got stuck in the big tote bins the Mint used to feed the coin presses at the end of 1942. The few bronze coins that were struck went unnoticed and got released into circulation. Odds are you have a piggy bank full of typical pennies that are worth, well, a penny. However, you never know.
There have been 300 billion one cent coins minted since 1787.
Due to a printing error, the 1942 penny is extremely rare and valuable.
The word penny came from other countries and the official name for the US penny is the cent piece.
Although pennies, or cent pieces, have been around a long time some are considered rare and valuable.
