Teaching Your Kids To Recycle

Recycling should practically be part of your life. If it is not, then it should be. Teaching your children to recycle is important because not only will they be helping the environment, they will be helping themselves. They will learn not to waste products they are using. This will help them become more aware of their own actions.

You can almost recycle anything now days, from cans to newspapers to clothes to tires. You can even recycle workable items that you no long want or sell. Groups like Freecycle.org is a great example of this type of activity.

Recycle at home. Children mimic their parents. Be sure to recycle aluminum cans, newspapers, plastics and card boards. Encourage your children to recycle their products as appropriate. Encourage your schools to recycle and talk about recycling.

We all can make a difference. It just starts at home.
