Recycling as a Family

April 17, 2009 by admin 

recycle_200I have wanted our family to be better at recycling for a long time now. We recycle but I know we can be much more effective. We are going to set ourselves up for success by having a plan and executing it tonight as a family. Here are some of the steps we are taking to encourage better recycling in our home:

1. Take a trip to our city center to see our local rules and regulations about recycling.

2. Talk about what we can recycle in our home. Run through a typical day and see where we can stop and recycle!

3. Set up a special bin under the sink or in the laundry room into which our family can quickly and easily throw recyclable items–instead of throwing them in the garbage. (I think I’ll let my girls decorate it with pictures of what they love about the Earth, too!)

4. Teach my girls about recyclable items you can collect and turn in for money. In many locations you can collect cans, glass bottles and even plastic bags!

5. Take the time to talk about what I really enjoy about the Earth and how it important it is that we all do our part to take care of our home.
