Recycling
Let’s learn about recycling. Recycling is a process that involves improving disposable things. Or, it is a process to turn used waste and materials into useful products. The concept of recycling allows us to make our environment clean, as it keeps the collection of harmful bottles and materials at a minimum.
In other terms, if you think about what is recycling—it is a process that involves converting waste and useless materials into something useful, which could be used for later purposes.
We should encourage recycling in our society, as it is responsible for keeping the environment free from any harmful materials, which cannot be decomposed into a natural landfill.
Kids should know about recycling so they could take a step forward to make the environment clean.
Your child should know that a producer is the one who produces goods and sells them to people who are known as “customers”. It’s a simple concept to teach your children and honestly, it’s not even that difficult. For a proper example, you can take your kids to a shop and show them that the person selling the stuff is the producer and those who are coming to the shop and buying that stuff, they are called the consumers. A live example will definitely come in handy to your child and he will grasp this concept easily too.For parents and teachers, it’s important to come up with ways that can increase the interest and curiosity of the children. The more curious a child will be, the better he will learn when you will teach him.
