Recycling and environmental preservation project for initial series

In this post we selected for you excellent ideas and templates ready for your recycling project which are wonderful suggestions for working on the World Environment Week, date that is celebrated between the 1st and 5th of June, the date that the World environment day.

World Environment Day began to be celebrated in 1972, with the aim of promoting activities to protect and preserve the environment, and alert the public and governments of each country to the dangers of neglecting the task of caring for the world in which we live.

It was in Stockholm, on June 5, 1972, that the first of the United Nations Conferences on the human environment began. The meeting lasted until the 16th and brought together several governments and NGOs. For this reason, it was chosen as World Environment Day.

With that in mind we selected these templates ready for your recycling project, check out:

Recycling project for early series

The issues of garbage, recycling and reuse have been considered increasingly urgent and important in society, because the future of society depends on the relationship established between nature and man's use of natural resources available.

In this project, we will address the need for awareness and changes in values ​​and attitudes so that students can enter into their daily lives. For this, we will use an interdisciplinary methodology to achieve the proposed objectives and, consequently, students will be evaluated throughout the development process of this project.

Introduction:

Considering that man is part of the environment in which he lives, he depends on him to survive and his influence on it increased a lot after the revolution industrial, with that the new technologies made possible progressively, better living conditions, but on the other hand the progress resulted difficulties. The expansion of industries and the growth of cities led to an excessive increase in the amount of waste that is due to the growth in purchasing power and the consumption profile of a population.

A large part of what we call garbage and which forms the so-called dumps is made up of materials that can be recycled using techniques that aim to take advantage of the debris. According to national curricular parameters (2001): “It is necessary to consider garbage as an important arsenal of matter to be used, such as an oxygen compound, or recycled and the problem of material production non-degradable.

The Brazilian recycling industry, despite being very deficient, employs thousands of garbage collectors. Investment in recycling can be a measure that gives citizens the opportunity to preserve the nature of a concretely, taking more responsibility for the waste they generate, reducing waste and increasing the cleanliness of the City.

Waste is an irrational way of using resources, as many of them can be reused before being discarded it can be used in the original function or in the creation of new forms of reuse.

In addition to recycling and reusing, it is necessary to sensitize everyone involved in the project about a very relevant method, which is to significantly reduce the amount of waste in our school. And this is only possible if we consume less and efficiently, always rationalizing the use of material and product in our daily lives.

"In nature nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed’’

Main goal

• Critically reflect on the meaning and action of human beings on the planet in the formation of citizenship.
• Presentation of the “Selective Collection of School Waste” proposal.
• Recognize recyclable materials.
• Establish the importance of separating waste.
• Show the school the reality of unused garbage
• Present lectures and videos on the subject.
• Spread posters with poems and phrases to draw students' attention.
• Alert the school about the danger of diseases transmitted by garbage.

Justification:

• With this project, we propose to work with attitudes and formation of values, seeking to make students aware of the importance of recycling and reuse in order to reduce the accumulation of waste, as well as saving nature from the inexhaustible extraction of resources. Knowing ways to make the separation of waste valued at our school.
• In this context, we believe that the school has an important role in terms of developing the critical sense of students.

Methodology - Portuguese

• Different readings (news texts, poems and song lyrics) going deeper into the subject RECYCLE
• Music: “Planeta Água” (Guilherme Arantes)
• Ecological Poems: "SEPARE"
• Reading of the poem “Paradise”. Divide the class into 4 groups to discuss the poem.
• Ex: What would you do if:
• “…If the street were yours
• If the forest were yours
• if the river were yours
• If the world were yours…”
• Afterwards, each one will write their opinion.
• Look in newspapers for news that address pollution and the importance of recycling.
• Work interpretation of text with the lyrics of the song: “Planeta Azul”

Methodology - Science

• Elaboration of questionnaires about garbage collection, to be answered by students and others at home.
• Experiments and production of simple recyclable materials, addressing the subject currently studied by the subject.
• Lectures and videos dealing with diseases caused by garbage.

Methodology - Geography

• Ecological tour with observation of the environmental reality.
• Documentary “Estamira” (a woman who lived in the dump) or extraordinary garbage, then production of a text about the film.

Methodology - Arts

• Create an ecological mural with students.
• Workshops for reused materials (how to create materials) with pet bottles, cardboard boxes and so on.

Methodology - Mathematics

• Survey done by students on waste data in our country. (Represented in graphics)
• Graph made with students representing the time that nature takes to absorb debris.

Assessment:

Give a grade that will help in the subject depending on the work done by the students and add it to the participation grade.

Waste recycling project

GOALS:

• Raise awareness among students in Brazilian cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants about the situation of countless workers who live collecting, or even consuming, garbage. Through this awareness, it is intended to propose a reflection on crucial issues related to improving the living conditions of the entire population. population: this situation would already improve if we separate our waste, if we avoid food waste through handling and adequate packaging and if, in another sphere of action, we demanded, from the government, the implementation of an Integrated Management policy of the Urban Waste.

STRATEGY:

• For a possible visit to the dump or sanitary landfill and street scavengers, the whole class; for interviews, the class divided into groups.

ROLE OF TEACHERS:

• Introduce the theme with materials they have access to (newspapers, TV news, magazines, plays, photos, works of art, films…); prepare the visit to the dump or sanitary landfill and street scavengers; discuss and guide the preparation of scripts for the interviews; coordinate discussions, activities and their presentation.

ROLE OF STUDENTS:

• Search for information on the topic and prepare your own materials (interviews, life stories, drawings, photographs, paintings…).

REQUIRED MATERIAL:

• Secondary statements or statements collected by the students themselves.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF ACTIONS

START:

• To trigger the discussion of the theme by presenting material that shows a face of this reality, noting and discussing the main ideas raised by the students about the theme. Some suggestions: “Ilha das Flores”, a short film by Jorge Furtado about garbage in Porto Alegre, or newspaper, magazine and TV news reports.

OTHER STEPS:

1st STAGE: Surveying the garbage in students' homes:

a– The teacher prepares a questionnaire with closed questions and space for others

observations, so that students can answer: how many times a week the garbage is put out in your house; how they pack food scraps, broken glass…; if they separate them; what is the amount placed (can be measured from bags, sacks…) and other questions that the professors deem relevant.

b- The information obtained will be treated so that an analysis can be carried out.

about how families dispose of their garbage. From the reading of the booklet “A Embalagem ea Ambiente”, the students themselves will do this treatment, with the help of the teachers, producing tables, graphs and short texts.

2nd STAGE: Investigating the destination of the garbage of those who work with it:

a) – Prepare and carry out a visit to the dump or landfill (see Specific Projects

Mathematics) to interview the people who work there, landfill collectors, collectors' cooperatives or landfill employees, about: living conditions and work (form of remuneration, working hours, most common risks and illnesses, whether the work is outsourced or not, whether the collector consumes or sells what there get…); (see article "Text Production"

– interview). In addition to the answers obtained, all moments must be recorded as drawings, photographs or footage.

b) To work with the population, in addition to a work of information multipliers and new conducts in their own home, students can make information leaflets on the subject, intended for community.

CULMINANCE

• All activities can be presented on Recycling Day or at an event where the school's work is displayed, together with the holding a Used Objects Exchange Fair - which discourages waste, as it is garbage for some, it can be useful for others

IV - EVALUATION

• The teacher will be monitored and evaluating all the activities performed by the students, giving the resumption of reflection on the issue of garbage at home: it is suggested that a couple of months after the end of the project, they talk again about the topic or re-apply the questionnaires from the beginning of the activity. Everyone together re-evaluates their most recent actions and can even evaluate the response sent (hopefully!) .
