Excellent idea ! Hope that the new generations will be more sensible to these ideas and not to just consume and throw away.
I live in Chile and at home we have already started a “recycling center”, making up compost for our garden. I live near a City where people don’t even think about recycling and planning a campaign via TV to recycle and even bring money back to the Town Halls that could be used to improve quality of life.
I did something like these with my nieces and nephews and they’ve kept up the habit even after they’ve grown up. We had something like these, and most of what I did were projects they used as toys. Now that they’ve grown quite a bit, they developed a habit of upcycling materials and making cool stuff. Thanks a lot for such a great article!
