Children’s chores often include taking out the trash, (hopefully) taking out the recycling, and washing the dishes. After their chores, they usually get rewarded with free time to play. Given these habits, it’s not surprising children often view recycling as a chore. It’s grouped with taking out the trash and dishes, which aren’t very fun tasks. Now, given TerraCycle’s recycling programs that reach out to kids and schools, our goal is to make recycling fun. A great way to change your child’s view of recycling is to avoid making it a punishment or something they must do to avoid getting in trouble. Also, making any lesson hands on or even (gasp!) fun will make kids more engaged. TerraCycle is trying to do just that for recycling.
