Answer 6

I work in a preschool-we have:

3 bins-one for our fruit and veg peelings and left overs

-blue bin and black bin with posters of what goes in each.

We have posters reminding staff (and as a visual for children) to turn off plugs and lights, and have a 'turn the tap' off sign in the toilet area.

We have recyclable modelling everyday-parents and staff bring in paper roll tubes, old bottles, buttons etc and the children use these in their arts and crafts.

We do other things like eco-week etc and we also have toy swapshops where parents bring in old stuff and can swap with other parents for something new!

Answer 7

I think it has to do with the resources of taking the recycle materials to the right places. Many school have parent groups or other volunteers that help with that.

Ann M made a great point about using recycled materials for arts and crafts. It was right under my nose, we do that all the time too as do most preschools and day cares.
