Recycling plastic

Hi Kids,

We all love to have a swim in the sea in summer but plastic is causing great harm, not only to our seas and oceans, but also to marine life as well as to the air we breathe. We can stop this by learning to reduce the number of plastic objects we throw away. We can recycle or reuse plastic objects. We can also try to buy objects which consist of materials that do not harm the environment so we will live in a cleaner and healthier world.

This prayer space is called Recycling Plastic

You will need:

• Plastic bottles
• Plastic bottle caps (you may add other plastic items such as plastic plates, knives, forks, bags etc)
• Glue
• A pair of scissors
• Black markers
• Acrylic paint
• paintbrush

Go around the house and collect plastic objects such as bottle caps etc. Ask yourself: What am I going to do with these objects when I don’t need them anymore? Think of ways in which you can reuse these plastic objects.

Take some time to say a prayer to God so that He will give you the courage to make choices in favour of life.
