Recycling: everyone knows they SHOULD do it; not everyone does. What better place to start green habits than in the classroom?We’ve all heard (and used) the excuses: it's not a practical option in all areas; it takes more energy to recycle some materials than it does to create new ones; the sorting process is too confusing, or takes too long; my students need to be the priority, not their garbage.
Though it may not be a question on standardized tests, recycling, energy conservation and green living are crucial factors in our world. Students need to know about these issues in order to be informed citizens, as well as responsible Earth-dwellers.
Establishing that knowledge and those good habits doesn’t have to be a hassle.
