Recycling and Reusing - PowerPoint

In an educational presentation about 'Recycling and Reusing', students are introduced to the concepts of recycling, reusing, and the impact of litter on the environment. The lesson begins by defining recycling as the process by which materials such as paper, plastic, cans, and bottles are collected and transformed into new products. This process is essential as it helps reduce waste and conserve resources. The presentation then shifts focus to reusing, encouraging students to find new uses for items like carrier bags, paper, and bottles. By reusing these items, the amount of rubbish produced is significantly reduced, which is beneficial for the environment.

The detrimental effects of litter are also highlighted, explaining that litter refers to rubbish improperly discarded on the ground, such as old packets, bottles, and wrappers. The presentation emphasises that litter is not only unsightly but can also pose serious dangers to animals, including wildlife and pets. Instances of harm caused by litter, such as injuries from broken glass and sharp cans, as well as small creatures getting trapped in plastics or bottles, are discussed to reinforce the importance of proper waste disposal. The session concludes with an interactive segment, where students are encouraged to share their own experiences with recycling and reusing, and to brainstorm items that can be repurposed or recycled. To consolidate their learning and spread awareness, students are tasked with creating an eye-catching poster that communicates the importance of not dropping litter and taking care of our world through responsible waste management practices.
