Every day in America, each person generates about four pounds of trash, leading to over one trillion pounds of solid waste annually. The environmental impact of such waste is profound, affecting our delicate ecosystem.
Adults often overlook the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling?"practices vital for the health and safety of future generations. It's crucial for us to improve our habits to prevent passing on the consequences of today's environmental mismanagement to our children.
One hotel company, in its third year, is championing the cause by helping children think globally and act locally. Partnering with The National Arbor Day Foundation, Doubletree Hotels is providing an eco-friendly curriculum to thousands of elementary students across the U.S. and Canada. This initiative is part of their Teaching Kids to CARE program, which collaborates with schools and youth groups to educate kids on environmental responsibility.
This spring, Teaching Kids to CARE volunteers and children will create "litter critters," art made from reused materials representing animals impacted by litter. They'll also plant over 10,000 tree seedlings across North America.
For parents and mentors wanting to engage kids in eco-friendly activities, here are some tips:
1. Recycling is Fun?"Pass it On: Recycling goes beyond cans and newspapers. Encourage kids to start a program where they share toys, books, and games with friends. This practice teaches them that one person's trash can be another's treasure, reducing waste by reusing old items.
2. Become a Habitat Hero: Encourage kids to organize a park or school yard cleanup with friends (and adult supervision). Award the child collecting the most trash with a "Habitat Hero" prize.
3. Plant a Family Tree: Visit a garden center with your kids to pick out a young tree suitable for your climate. Plant it together, assigning different tasks to each family member. Capture the moment with a photo to remember how small the tree was when planted.
4. You CAN Make a Difference: Encourage children to collect empty aluminum cans and visit a "Cash for Cans" drop-off location weekly. Decide together how to use the money to benefit the environment, such as volunteering for tree planting projects, maintaining a local highway, or donating to an environmental charity.
5. Pulp to Paper: Teach kids how newspapers are recycled into new paper. Tear a half-page of newspaper into small pieces, soak them in water, and use a mixer to create pulp. Mold the pulp into a paper shape on felt and let it dry for a couple of days.
Effective waste management not only saves the environment but also conserves energy, reduces pollution, and protects wildlife. Small efforts from your kids today can lead to a healthier, greener tomorrow.
