  5. Background Information:The importance of recycling • The Three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle The Three R’s gives us the chance to support the cause of recycling in our community. This is called the recycling loop. This loops keep materials out of landfills and decreases pollution caused by waste. • How do we recycle? We can collect (look for the recycle symbol on materials), sort by materials, and create new materials out of recyclables. • Where can we recycle? We can recycle at home, school, out in the community, or take our materials to recycling centers.

  6. Materials that can be recycled or cannot be recycled. Recyclable Non-recyclable Food waste Tissue/ paper towels Food wrappers Yogurt/ fruit cups Broken glass Paper/styrofoam cups Plastic cutlery/straws Take out containers Soiled/wet paper Candy/chip bags Aerosol cans Carpet sponges • Paper (cardboard boxes, brown grocery bags, milk cartons, newspaper, copy paper, and junk mail) • Aluminum (soda cans) • Plastic bottles (soda bottles, water bottles, milk jugs, detergent bottles, bread bags, egg cartons, and ketchup bottles) • Glass (jars, bottles)

  7. Activity: Making a Creature using recyclable items • Look inside your plastic bag. Choose which items are recyclable and which items are non-recyclable. List your items in the chart.

  8. Activity continued… 2. Gather all the recyclable items together in a pile. 3. Using only the items you are given, create a recyclable creature to represent the importance of recycling.

  9. Activity continued… • After creating your creature, draw your creature in the space provided. 5. Please explain why you choose the materials you did to create your creature.

  10. Assessment • Looking at the table below, circle the items that are recyclable.

  11. Resources • http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/swfa/kidspage/index.html This website teaches the importance of recycling. It also has some games and links for students to explore. • http://www.education.com/activity/article/Recyclable_Creature_second/?cid=70.100 I used this websites’ idea for the recyclable creature. • http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/just_for_kids/13936 This website has six topics related to environmental education. The website answers questions related to the Three R’s and also has games for students.
