Recycle Rosie for K-2nd

Americans generate approximately 1-2 bags of trash each day.

A class of students can generate the weight of 8 elephants in trash a year.

This makes our Landfills full and dirty…

Luckily, Recycle Rosie can help YOU to change this!

The Recycle Rosie Program travels the world teaching kids about the 3

R’s.

Recycle Rosie is a Recycling Truck. People like me go around teaching

kids how to save the environment by recycling items at home and in their

classrooms.

The 3 R’s are:

REDUCE

REUSE RECYCLE

Now it’s your turn. Can you name the 3 R’s?

REDUCE

Reduce the use of items that can only be used once. Instead, try using both sides of paper before getting rid of it.

REUSE

Find other uses for items that could be thrown away.

Collect items that would otherwise be trash and can no longer be reused and put them in a recycle bin to be recycled.
