Learning about garbage and recycling is an activity that even small children can participate in. Let them know what their efforts can do to help, and teach them the proper methods of garbage disposal.Teaching kids about the impact of garbage on the earth is as simple as remembering the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Begin by empowering children with opportunities for keeping the earth clean. Make a family goal to find out about locallandfills, how much garbage they hold, and the different ways to dispose of different items properly. Schedule an appointment at a local recycling center to show kids howrecycling works and what types of materials are recyclable.
