blog post two, action recycling

  1. Provide a summary of the action you are planning and how are you going to start.
     my action is going to be a project about recycling. Our plan is to educate the next generation on recycling by going to schools and doing fun interactive activities and presentations on recycling. We plan on maybe having prizes for the winners of the activities for extra motivation to participate and focus
  2. One lesson in the talk is that ‘Everything is complicated’. Can you explain some of the complexity that you will face in your action?
    In the ted talk she addressed how you may not always be helping and there is always more to the story. she also said how everything Is not always simple. for my blog post I think the moral complex will be if any of the kids will actually do more or care more, because I feel like sometimes kids at that age really don’t care about things like that, but I hope that this presentation will reach some of the right kids who do care. I also hope that this denote bring up more resentment against recycling because I feel like sometimes when something is over educated people can get annoyed by hearing it again, I feel like this presentation will hopefully be more effective. and the other thing that the Vedic taught me is people really want education and well our kids are not deprived of education I feel like we all could use more education of how to properly dispose of our things
  3. Is this action sustainable? Provide some specific examples to support your reasoning.
    I think that this action is very sustainable because instead of going out and picking up trash or going through the recycling and taking out all of the things that do not belong and sorting it we will cutting of the problem at the cause and even if just one kid stop we will still be making  difference because that could be the kid contaminating the whole recycling and making it un useable
  4.  Is this action providing opportunity? How will you ensure you are making the positive impact that you intend? We will be making a positive impact by properly teaching the kids were to put recycling instead of leaving it up to the parents and hopefully this will leave a long-term positive impact and eliminate littering at schools. Maybe these kids will even help kids from other schools.

  1. Hello Savannah,

    I think it’s really great that your action plan is to go into schools and talk about recycling. Especially since the youth in schools is the next generation for this world. Teaching these kids the proper way to reduce, reuse and recycle is also a great way for them to learn this information and then bring it home where they can then practice and show their families.

    I think a great Idea would be when you go into the schools to bring something that would get the kids engaged, maybe do an activity with them or a craft, or a challenge that will get them involved to practice recycling practices.

    I look forward to seeing how your action project plays out!

    Marisa 😊

  2. Hi Savanah,

    I like your idea of visiting schools to talk about the importance of recycling and sustainability. I am interested to see what kind of activities and rewards you have planned to keep the kids engaged and focused on your presentation and how you plan to teach the kids about recycling. I think it’s a great idea to introduce recycling to the younger generation and how it affects the environment.
    I look forward to your future posts about your action

  3. Hi Savannah,
    I really enjoyed your ideas about travelling to schools to educate them about the importance of sustainability and recycling. I am quite interested in the idea of having activities and rewards to continue the attention of kids to the main idea while also keeping them entertained. I think that this is an amazing idea to focus on the importance of keeping our earth healthy and teaching the younger generations about it.

    I agree with you about the importance of instilling good habits in young children, especially when it comes to something as crucial as recycling. By starting early, we not only help them understand the value of environmental awarness but also lay a solid foundation for a sustainable future.
