It’s no surprise that our recycling habits impact future generations. That’s why it’s especially important for us to teach our kids how and why to recycle from a very young age.

1. Teaching Your Kids About
Recycling

2. It’s no surprise that our recycling habits impact future
generations. That’s why it’s especially important for us to teach
our kids how and why to recycle from a very young age. By
setting an example for them now, they’ll be more likely to take
care of the environment as they grow older.
There a few basic things that every child can practice before
becoming adults.
Pick Up Cans and Bottles During A Walk

3. Take advantage of your child’s inquisitive nature by going on a
walk or hike together. You’re bound to come across strewn
aluminum cans and glass bottles. When you do, you can make it a
learning lesson.
 Put them in a trash bag (with gloves on)
 Make it a competition
 Recycle items at a local center
 Let your child keep the money
Make a trip to the recycling center

4. Let your child see the entire recycling process. Showing them
where recycled goods are supposed to go will help them
understand when one is out of place.
Show Them What Happens When You Don’t Recycle
Perhaps the most powerful way to teach your kids about
recycling is to show them what happens to our environment
when we neglect it. Educate them through videos and books
that explain the dangers our discarded items pose to wildlife
and nature. Visit this website to find additional information
