Recycle Rosie for K-2nd
Americans generate approximately 1-2 bags
of trash each day.
A class of students can generate the weight
of 8 elephants in trash a year.
This makes our Landfills full and dirty…
Luckily, Recycle Rosie can help YOU
to change this!
The Recycle Rosie Program travels the
world teaching kids about the 3 R’s.
Recycle Rosie is a Recycling Truck. People
like me go around teaching kids how to save
the environment by recycling items at home
and in their classrooms.
The 3 R’s are:
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE
Now it’s your turn. Can you name the 3 R’s?
REDUCE
Reduce the use of items that can only be
used once. Instead, try using both sides of
paper before getting rid of it.
REUSE
Find other uses for items that could be
thrown away.
RECYCLE
Collect items that would otherwise be trash and
can no longer be reused and put them in a
recycle bin to be recycled.
Good job! You sure do learn fast! We are
going to make a great team! Now lets look at
