- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Why do people throw their trash on the streets? Why do people litter on subway platforms, in parks, and even in school? Why do people leave cups and sugar containers, or bottles on chairs, floors, instead of throwing them into the trash and/or recycling bins.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Elementary school children in NY Public Schools age 7-10 need a program in school to 1) build awareness of litter (what is it? where does it come from? What happens to it?) 2) and what they can do to change their own and others' behavior so as to reducce litter and positively impact human/earth environments; 3) they can investigate and discuss best litter disposal plans; 5) and implement plans in their classroom/school/neighborhood; 6) create signs that help them follow the plan; 7) make t-shirts as well as reuse recycle bags/and bins to improve community habits of recycling; 8) organize clean-up/recycling events with fun activities such as trash/treasure scavenger hunts and challenges such as races to pick up and dispose of trash. Educators may partner with the Dept of Sanitation and City Parks and green science/energy/businesses to design this STEM curriculum.
