Recycling should be a regular process, a habit already incorporated into our lives. However, many people still get messed up with the colors of the recycling bins, they hesitate to put the plastic wrappers in the same bag and feel lazy when leaving the house with the waste bags place each one in its place.
Precisely, Unesco declaredMay 17 as World Recycling Dayso that each and every one of us becomes aware that recycling is a way of contributing to the Environment. In some countries of the world there is still a long way to go to recycle correctly, but if we live in countries where recycling is becoming easier, there is no excuse for not doing so, so all living beings can lead a healthier life on the planet.
How can we contribute to children on the Day of Recycling?
Recycling is a physicochemical or mechanical process that subjects a material or a product already used to a total or partial treatment cycle to obtain a raw material or a new product. It could also be defined as the obtaining of raw materials from waste, introducing them back into the life cycle. The idea emerged as an alternative to the prospect of depleting natural resources and effectively eliminating waste. Children must learn to recycle properly from a young age, and teaching them to do so is the responsibility of parents to make this activity part of their daily habits:
