Good morning, Zero Wasters!

Thanks for joining us for Week 3 of Eco-Cycle’s Zero Waste Video Series! 

Last week, we learned about the benefits of recycling – conserving resources, saving energy and water, and creating jobs! If you haven’t had a chance to view Week 2’s video lesson or try one of the activities, you can find all previous weeks’ lessons here.

Let’s kick off Week 3’s lesson:
What Can Be Recycled?

Recycling is pretty simple, right? It is – once you know your guidelines! But guidelines change from one community to the next, which can make knowing what to recycle more complicated. For example, the same glass bottle that is recyclable in your community may not be recyclable in other communities in the nation – or in other communities in your state! In this week’s video lesson, “What Can Be Recycled?” we explain why recycling guidelines vary and review the THREE main factors that makes something “recyclable” (or not recyclable) where you live!

After watching the video, challenge yourself further by doing one of the following activities:

• Activity for Younger Kids: "Where Does It Go?” Matching Game
• Bonus Activity: Take a Brain Break with Jeff and Paige’s “Disco’s here, Dat Goes There”
• Activity for Older Kids: Create Custom Recycling Guidelines for Your Home
• Activity for Teens and Adults: Do a Recycling Audit at Home

Next week’s lesson, “How Are Things Recycled? A Tour through a Recycling Facility” will be sent to your inbox on Friday, May 15th!
