Recycle and Reuse
That’s Rubbish!: For some of today's students, recycling is a way of life. But that doesn't mean students understand why we recycle and why that green triangle is everywhere. More than ever, it is important for students to know what “living green” really means and why it has become such a big thing. If we don’t think about where things come from, and where they’re going to go, eventually, that can become a very BIG problem...Students learn about trash in the past, trash today, and where our trash will be tomorrow, how nature recycles, why rottin’ is awesome, how to make biodegradable work for them, and get a little culture, vermiculture.
Piling Up! Reduce the Refuse: Hey, take the garbage out! So, what if we don’t? Does it really matter that much? Just ask Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout what happens if you don’t take the garbage out. Piling it on may be great when you’re filling a plate, but it’s not so great when you’re filling the lake. In this lesson students continue to learn about the importance of recycling, get motivated by Möbius, learn that what they do really does matter, get to be opinionated, watch feelings spread, and get the answer to the age old question, “When the garbage truck comes and takes away our garbage, where does it go?”
