Activity 4

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

An interactive powerpoint designed as a quiz to test your knowledge on, or teach you something new, about the three Rs of sustainability: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Play on your own or ask your teacher to display it on the board and compete in teams! Will you get the top score and become an Enviro-Master?

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Discuss with a friend or an adult how you can recycle at home and at school. Is there a way you could recycle or reuse materials more efficiently? Design a new machine that recycles materials that we can’t recycle now, and turns them into something useful!

Set up and play the Trash Drop game:

Curl a wide length of chicken wire to create a cylinder.
On the bottom two thirds of the cylinder thread sticks through the wire to create a barrier.
Fill the top of the cylinder with empty drinks bottles, clean yogurt tubs, cardboard cartons and other recyclables.
Take turns slowly drawing out sticks. If a piece of recycling drops you must collect it! The winner at the end of the game is the person with the least amount of recycling.
