Model
Ask children: What do you see in the photo? (trash, waste, a landfill). What is the most thrown away item? (paper). Ask children: Why do we have all this waste? (people throw everything away). Say: Waste is everything that is thrown out. There is a lot of waste because we throw away everything. However, some things can be re-used. Re-using things not only saves us money, but it creates less trash. Some of the waste is burned. But, burning the waste also harms the environment. So, usually waste ends up in a landfill. However, the more waste we have the more landfills we need. How would you feel living near a landfill? (answers will vary).
Apply
Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about when their neighborhood’s recycling day is. After the second game, have them discuss other things that are made of out recycled materials.
Close
Ask children: What happens to things that can’t be recycled? Say: Some materials take a long time to break down. For instance, plastic doesn’t break down. So, if we don’t recycle plastic, it won’t go away. Usually plastic and other materials end up on the ground, beaches, or in oceans and seas. Animals are also affected by these things. For instance, they can become caught in plastic soda can rings. Thus, recycling is important! Think about other ways that you can keep the environment clean.
