I don’t see what the big deal is. A landfill is the place for trash. Why go through all that extra work to recycle trash.

“Teaching Kids About Trash” The material not the Band.

There needs to be an effort made to “Teach Adults About Trash.” They’re the group that is resposible for what’s done with it.

Everyone knows what “trash” or “garbage” is when they see it. The question should be: What is “humanity” going to do in “our lives” with the never stopping the production of garbage.

The $10,000 question seems to be; What determines when something man-made should be “thrown-away?” And where is “away?” “Just so it’s not in my back yard!”

Thank you

Both the school and parents should be involved in teaching their kids about recycling and conservation. My kids are very good and understand what it is all about. Our local council does help by providing suitable containers to assist with collection – blue bins for paper, plastic and tins and green bin for glass bottles. If you make life a bit easier for people to collect they are more likely to do it.

I completely agree that we should start teaching kids about trash, recycling, conservation and the wider world around them. All of their choices to keep the earth safe will be easy and automatic to them as they grow older.

Recently my mummy was watching my 4 year old son. He ate a package of Dots Halloween candy and then proceeded to break down the small paerboard box and place it in the paper recycling bag. My mom called me hysterically laughing at what a little green boy has was. While I was thinking that he was more of an earth activist at 4 then my mummy was at 58.

Sometimes you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
