• Recycling Activity: According to a pamphlet, pick up garbage and throw into the appropriate bin.
• Ways to turn “garbage” into something fun :D
• Donate clothes and toys
• Self-contribution: Demonstrate a list of things kids can do to help minimize energy usage. Or do a simulation (ex. Make a (picture of a) room will no one in it but lights are on.)
• Simplify WTE: build a box with two ends. One end put garbage in, other end have lightbulb. Drop garbage in, lightbulb lights up. Add sounds :)
