Yes. We have three different containers at home: plastic, waste and cardboard. My mother is very insistent about recycling, so I have no choice but to recycle. To be honest, I don’t know if I would still do it if I lived on my own.

In this picture, I can see a family in a campsite. In the background I can see a line of trees the surround a lake. In the foreground, There are 5 people and a lot of objects lying around. It’s a sunny day, so they were very lucky.
The father is sitting on a chair while making a campfire. The children are playing around the campfire, which I don’t think it’s a good idea, by the way. The mother has two volley balls and is holding up one of them. She’s probably encouraging her kids to play volleyball. Behind them there’s another man who is riding a bike.Â
I can see a bike on the left and another bike on the right, so the family must like cycling in natural areas. There’s also a camera on the grass. I think it’s a good idea to take a camera with you when you go camping because you can remember the trip later when your holidays have finished. There are also toys, balls and a rope, which the kids may use to play different games.

I like both types of plans. When the weather is fine, I like going hiking with my friends, because he have long, interesting chats and then we eat together. They take their dogs too, so it’s always fun. However, in winter we prefer playing board games. I’m ok with either plan.
