THE recycling is the transformation of a waste that would be discarded, so that it is reused and the production of waste in the planet Earth be diminished.
General guidelines for the teacher (a): remember that any class about garbage recycling it demands a change in the attitudes of its students, which can have an impact both on their relationships with their families, as well as with the school and colleagues.
Therefore, before applying this class, have the support of the direction and coordination of your school, so you avoid your actions being revoked and the investment of time and resources being in vain. Doing it this way, maybe a class will become a project for your school?
