Today's Climate Lesson

Reduce waste by recycling and upcycling everyday items.

Recycling and upcycling help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. By reusing materials, we save resources and energy, and turn old items into something new and useful!

Try This!

Trash to Treasure Hunt!

Go on a hunt around your home or neighborhood to find items that can be upcycled. Use plastic bottles, old shoes, or bottle caps to create something new, like a bird feeder or a mini garden!
