TRASH is a highly used sign, because everyone has trash.  While teaching the children to throw away their trash, be sure to sign TRASH each time. Let’s all reinforce Earth Day with the fun activity sheet-free down load this week and get out kids signing TRASH.  I bet you’ll be surprised how this simple signing will encourage them to throw away their trash.

April 22 is Earth Day.

Earth Day is a celebration of our amazing planet and chance to learn how we can best care for it. The first celebration of Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970.

So why is recycling so important? The average person in the United States generates around 4.5 pounds of waste every single day.  Recycling not only saves valuable space in our landfills, but it also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
