Project - 7: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse (most important 3R's) and Now Respect

Project Focus – Conservation, Caring for the Planet, Segregation of garbage

Target Area - It enables children to learn about the original source of material and also which
materials can be recycled.

Every living organism is important in this world, be it an elephant, a banyan tree, a rabbit, an insect,
a mustard plant, or inanimate resources such as water, air or soil. They are members of one or the
other food chain and are dependent on one another. Every food chain starts from a plant source
and man is the last consumer in almost all the food chains. But with increasing population the
resources are depleting. We need to establish a balancebetween human populations and available
resources so that renewable sources find sufficient time to renew themselves and others can be
recycled and reused.

Learning Outcomes:
Learners-
● learn about the original source of material goods such as glass, aluminium, iron,paper,
plastic, petroleum, coal.
● learn the importance of segregating garbage.
● learn which materials can be recycled. .
● learn to coordinate between plan and action, within the volunteer group as well aswith the
target group.
● find new ways of cooperating with each other.
● learn social skills and ability to solve problems in a group.
● understand the importance of conserving resources.
● explore and internalize the importance of Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.
● learn to use resources judiciously.

Project Process: Prepare:

● Students will make a rough layout and plan the activities to practically implement the
project.
● Conduct a class discussion. Discuss the meaning of recycling. (The teacher may tell a storywith a
message - "There is enough for everyone's need but not for their greed)".
● Students will make a list of things that can be recycled at home or at school.
● Discuss the reasons for recycling. Ask students if they know what the source of theoriginal
material is.
● Many students do not know the actual origin of materials and how material is recycled.
Prepare and use the resource sheets to sequence the steps from original product to
recycling for each material.
● Draw story boards about where materials come from. Display stories.
● Identify locality or target area for the execution of the project.
● Form groups of 10 to 12 students and elect a group leader for each group. The students in
each group should preferably be from the same residential area to makeit practically easy
for them to target their project area.
 ● Divide larger areas into smaller target areas, and allot them to each groupaccordingly.
● Do a door to door survey to find out things that are needed to be recycled by the people
living in the neighbourhood and collect data to fill in the provided survey sheet.
● Talk to the local area welfare society and arrange a presentation.
● Conduct a survey an environmental hygiene of your school (classroom, corridors,
washroom, public spaces) and suggest solutions.
● Prepare a presentation to :-
O spread awareness about Reuse and Recycling.
O sensitize people about conservation of nature by recycling.
O make residents aware about the benefits of segregating the trash.
O tell them about the various benefits of understanding the origin ofvarious
goods so that recycling becomes easy for them..
● Ask students to prepare two lists by following the steps given below:
O Make a list of all man-made things around them.
O Try to find out where they come from.
O The materials, about which they have a doubt (its origin), will bemarked in
the list.
O The teacher will help them find the origins of these materials.
● Share the list prepared by you with the residents and prepare a consent list of thosewho
would agree to segregate the trash in order to facilitate the garbage disposal.
● Prepare an evaluation sheet after monitoring and taking feedback from the residents tomake a
record of people to know how they have benefitted from the project.

Reflective Musings:
● After the collection of the data from survey, ask students to assemble all thecollected data
at one place.
We have to start caring about our planet. That is why we should recycle. "Whyshould we
recycle? To talk is good, to act is better."
● Guide students to research and prepare two lists- one with the materials that can be
recycled and another one with the materials that cannot be recycled.
● Guide students to prepare a presentation highlighting the following:

O Meaning of Recycling.
O The need for reuse.
O Does it help in easy disposal if the garbage is segregated?
O Why do some materials need to be recycled while others cannot?
O Why does man need to control greed and utilise Mother Earth's resources
thoughtfully?
O Why do we need to respect the resources provided by nature? O
What should be reduced and why?
