Why Recycle?
This is a rhetorical question for a lot of us. But mind you, there are a lot of people who join the bandwagon of recycling without necessarily knowing why they should recycle things. This isn't entirely a bad thing; however, it would always be better to join a cause knowing the core ideas of why that cause even exists in the first place.
Recycling for kids is an extremely simple thing to do, however, getting them to want to do the work of reducing, reusing and recycling is another thing. Of course, we can never teach our kids how to recycle, if they don't even know why we should recycle in the first place.
Recycling is very important nowadays. Due to the increasing trend of the usage of steel, paper and other materials in our industries, our nature slowly becomes polluted and we are using up our natural resources. However, if we can lessen the waste materials that are dumped in our ecosystem, then we could also lessen the harmful effects of these pollutants.
Through recycling used paper, tin cans and plastics, we can lessen the magnitude of wastes that are being thrown in our dump sites.
Why Teach Kids?
So why do we have to teach kids how to recycle? Well, the strength of recycling does not lie on one person alone. A single person recycling a piece of newspaper or tin can would not yield a significant help to our environment. However, if many people would recycle, then we would have a much better result. Therefore, it is vital that we encourage many people to include recycling in their daily habits, and that includes kids as well.
Recycling for kids then is a very crucial thing since it is in the early formative years that we learn to value things. Another thing is that they should learn how to help the environment as early as possible. In early childhood years, they should already know why they should care for the environment and how they can do it.
This would have a significant impact, as they can encourage their friends and peers, and colleagues to do the same thing in the future. Our kids should also develop the habit of conserving and recycling. Conserving does not only help our nature, but it can also help them in saving money and other resources.
How To Encourage Them To Recycle?
Recycling for kids is not hard. The hardest part of the process in getting them to recycle, is convincing them they want to do it in the first place.
Recycling takes time and effort, and what you need to do is to teach them by example, and that recycling is in their best interest. When you are finished with an empty glass jar, children need to know what to do with it, to wash it and recycle it. Share with them the benefits of recycling and talk about why recycling is so important, and that they also need to learn to recycle.
It is their environment we are protecting as well.
