Description: 
Students view their trash as just garbage to be thrown away. However, adults understand that we need to protect our resources and our environment. This lesson’s activities will help drive change and create habits for a lifetime while instilling responsibility for the environment. In this lesson students will work together through conversations, observations, and hands on activities to learn why they need to help take care of the environment. This lesson contains strategies for diverse learners (ELLs).
