Educational Activities
- “Choose to Reuse!”
Resources and activities help teach kids (and grown-ups!) about the environmental impact of “tossing” & benefits of recycling through reuse.
- What’s in my garbage? A thought-provoking kids activity that helps teach the three R’s - reduce, reuse, recycle - by tracking and charting garbage at home, and discussing alternatives in class.
- Make your own recycled paper! Easy step-by-step instructions and visual walkthrough. Download: Instructions / Visual Guide
- Generation Green (teens): We all know about the Earth's environmental crisis, but there IS someone who can truly make a difference: you. If you text your friends or chat with them online, download music to your iPod, or toss bottles and papers into recycling bins, you're already more eco-savvy than you think! Check out generationgreenthebook.com to get green tips, see what other teens are doing, take Tosh's Green Challenge and get a Green widget for your Myspace.
