While I am researching about recycling and read more about this topic, I found more interesting things. I just read about children having class about recycle. It was part of their science curriculum at the Elementary, a public school on West 17th Street in Manhattan, New York. And the class is the third grades that have children that are 8-9 years old. They learn while they still children making it easier to help when they have their houses. They have learned how to reduce, reuse and recycle as they call Three R’s.
They learn but also they help to recycle in their house discussing with their parents. When children are learning they ask a lot and when they see someone doing different from what they learned they ask why the person is doing that. The children learn in the school and when arrive at home want to say to their parents what they learn about the recycling. The parents know that it is important and do not want to do different in front of their kids. And doing that, they help the environment.
I think that every school should have in their curriculum the recycling class. And it could start on the preschool that the children could start to learn as the same time them they play. Doing that, they can start the good habit while they are children. It is easier to teach habit when they are children because to change behavior is difficult and it takes time. Before I read the article I have never thought about this possibility, and now I think this is really important and can be a good way to do more people concern about the problem if we just produce more and more trash without recycling.
Recycling is really important because our world needs help and we can waste more time do not helping it. The quantity of trash that is produced is too much and it is making worse day by day. I think everything that does more people helping to recycle it is valuable. Our planet asks for help every day and we do not stop to listening it.

This article that you read sounds pretty interesting. It made me think about how kids can educate parents. I wonder if some parents don't like this kind of education because it suddenly makes their lives more difficult. Yes, recycling is not that difficult, but many people don't take the time to recycle everything they can. For example, the recycling service that comes to my house does not take colored glass, so I either have to save it and eventually take it somewhere, or I have to throw it away in the trash. I have a very busy life, so a lot of the times, the colored glass ends up in the trash. Maybe if I had a child who was constantly bothering me about recycling, I would get better at making the effort to do it!
