Recycling

What is Recycling and how important is it?

Recycling is when we take old and useless materials (such as paper, plastic, glass) and re-make them into new things, instead of throwing them in the trash. What is the importance of Recycling and Why should we recycle? Recycling helps keep the Earth clean, reduces trash, protects animals and plants, saves energy and materials. We recycle because we love nature, we want clean air and clean water, we want a beautiful planet for ourselves and our friends, we show that we are responsible children and citizens. Recycling is important because we learn to take care of the environment, we acquire good habits from a young age, we help the Earth, we learn to cooperate and respect the world around us. Message from the children:
"When we recycle, we become heroes of the Earth!"

The next section in our etwinning project “Stem For a Cleaner World” is recycling. We watched a video, read the fairy tale “Mr. Ben, Moo and the Trash” and painted it. We discussed the problem of trash and the proposed solutions, such as the triptych reduce-reuse-recycle, recycling in the blue bins, benefits of recycling. Ideas for garbage separation. We created “Paper”, “Plastic” and “Metal” for garbage separation. Separate bin for batteries. We recorded what we learned on worksheets. Then, with used packaging, such as boxes, bottles, kitchen paper rolls, clothespins, cans, papers, etc., the children make bracelets, dolls, musical instruments, toys. We went one step further and recycled clothes. We collected clothes that we no longer wore and took them for recycling to the Pink Bin that the municipality of Kastoria has placed outside our school.
