Most of us do not spend much time thinking about trash and garbage. We might give the problem some thought when our community needs a new landfill, a crisis arises regarding dangerous waste, or litter gets out of control. But we often forget about the ever-present challenge of dealing with trash and garbage. We think studying how to reduce, reuse, and recycle trash and garbage will engage children because they are familiar with and curious about the topic
We need your help gathering items to investigate. We will need many different objects and pictures related to trash and recycling. We will begin our study by collecting them. Here is a list of suggested items, but you may also send in others not on the list as long as they are clean and safe.
