Things You Can Do at Home
-Brainstorm ideas of how you can reduce waste. Using a reusable bottle instead of plastic bottles, containers instead of bags or foil, etc.
-Have a conversation of how you recycle in your home. Talk about sorting/separating different items such as paper and plastic into different bins. Point out the different color or symbols that tell us what should be recycled.
-Recycled Crafts. Transform materials like cardboard boxes, milk cartons, and paper tubes into art projects, bird feeders, and even building blocks.
